Time-resolved luminescence spectroelectrochemistry

Time-resolved luminescence spectroelectrochemistry (TRLS) is less common than but complementary to luminescence spectroelectrochemistry. TRLS can be used to monitor the lifetime of a luminescent species, provided it is sufficiently long-lived. TRLS may be useful in studying the photophysics of an electroactive species to understand its temporal behavior under application of potential and can be used to provide a unique perspective on the electrochemical interface.

An example which highlights both the steady-state and time-resolved aspects of luminescence spectroelectrochemistry is shown in Figure 14.18. This study reported a dinuclear ruthenium (II) complex bridged by dianionic bridge shown in the inset of the figure (49).
