The photoluminescence analysis and comparison of a series of complexes with ligand L show that the lower energy emissive excited state is organic ligand centered in all the solvents. However, the change in ancillary ligand causes the lifetime of the emissive singlet state to vary depending on the solvent used. The observation of the lowest singlet state lifetime for all the complexes in ACN suggests that excited state phenomenon which otherwise is absent in other solvents control the dynamics in the ACN. Moreover, the photoluminescence quantum yield measurements also suggests that all the complexes are poorly emissive in ACN and these results are further supported by titration studies between DMF and ACN. As explained earlier, the titration of the ligand with an increasing amount of the salts in ACN, causes a significant reduction in emission intensity in all cases. Comparing these excited state results with the ground state properties in ACN for 3 suggests that ACN strongly influence the ground and excited state properties of the complexes.
