Photophysical properties of polypyridyl carbonyl complexes of rhenium(I)
摘要:
The photophysical properties of the metal to ligand charge transfer (m.l.c.t.) excited states of the complexes [Re(4,4'-X2-bipy)(CO)3Cl] (X = NH2, NEt2, NHCOCH3, OCH3, CH3, H, Ph, Cl, CO2Et or NO2, bipy = bipyridine) vary systematically as the substituent X is varied. For the cases where m.l.c.t. states are lowest lying a quantitative correlation exists between In(k(nr) x 1 s)(k(nr) is the rate constant for nonradiative decay) and the Franck-Condon factor calculated from parameters obtained by emission spectral fitting. The solvent reorganizational energy for [Re(bipy)(CO)3Cl] has been determined to be 1100 cm-1 in EtOH-MeOH (4:1 v/v) and 650 cm-1 in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran by a temperature dependent bandwidth study. Based on a comparative analysis of properties with related polypyridyl complexes of Ru parallel-to and Os parallel-to it has been concluded that: (1) the extent of distortion at the 4,4'-X2-bipy acceptor ligand correlates with the energy gap between the excited and ground states; these results are in agreement with an earlier correlation found for polypyridyl complexes of Os parallel-to; (2) the unusually large Stokes shift and the broadening of the vibronic components in absorption and emission spectra arise from a combination of increased solvent reorganizational energies and greater distortions in the low-frequency modes between the excited and ground states; and (3) the relatively short lifetimes for the complexes of Re(I) have as a major contributing factor the participation of a nu-(CO) mode at ca. 2020-2040 cm-1 as an energy acceptor in non-radiative decay.

A region of skin, other than the fingertips, is stimulated. After stimulation, an opening is created in the skin (e.g., by lancing the skin) to cause a flow of body fluid from the region. At least a portion of this body fluid is transported to a testing device where the concentration of analyte (e.g., glucose) in the body fluid is then determined. It is found that the stimulation of the skin provides results that are generally closer to the results of measurements from the fingertips, the traditional site for obtaining body fluid for analyte testing.
A sensor utilizing a non-leachable or diffusible redox mediator is described. The sensor includes a sample chamber to hold a sample in electrolytic contact with a working electrode, and in at least some instances, the sensor also contains a non-leachable or a diffusible second electron transfer agent. The sensor and/or the methods used produce a sensor signal in response to the analyte that can be distinguished from a background signal caused by the mediator. The invention can be used to determine the concentration of a biomolecule, such as glucose or lactate, in a biological fluid, such as blood or serum, using techniques such as coulometry, amperometry, and potentiometry. An enzyme capable of catalyzing the electrooxidation or electroreduction of the biomolecule is typically provided as a second electron transfer agent.
