Title: Development of novel photoactive cationic zirconocene complexes Author: Bc. David Dunlop Department: Department of inorganic chemistry Supervisor: RNDr. Martin Lamač Ph.D. Advisor: prof. RNDr. Petr Štěpnička, Ph.D., DSc. Abstract: Environmental concerns have brought about an unprecedented demand for sustainable energy sources among which electromagnetic radiation, light, currently dominates. Development of novel light- harvesting compounds and materials is at the forefront of current science, as it is essential to further our technological progress. This thesis contributes to the field by development of novel photoactive cationic group 4 metallocene complexes stabilized by pendant imine and pyridinyl donor groups, or N,O-donor aromatic ligands, as crystalline [B(C6F5)4]− salts. The complexes are prepared either by protonation of the intramolecularly bound imine moiety by PhNMe2H[B(C6F5)4] or by chloride ligand abstraction, by Li[B(C6F5)4]·2.5Et2O or in situ generated Et3Si[B(C6F5)4]. Prepared compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Solid state structures of the compounds were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The cationic complexes of Zr and Hf exhibited significantly enhanced luminescence which originates from triplet ligand-to-metal (3 LMCT) excited states with lifetimes of up to...
