The near-visible-to-blue singlet fluorescence of anthracene sensitized by a
ruthenium chromophore with a long-lived triplet-excited state,
[Ru(5-pyrenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(3)](PF(6))(2), in acetonitrile was
investigated. Low intensity non-coherent green light was used to selectively
excite the sensitizer in the presence of micromolar concentrations of anthracene
generating anti-Stokes, singlet fluorescence in the latter, even with incident
power densities below 500??W?cm(-2). The resultant data are consistent with
photon upconversion proceeding from sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA)
of the anthracene acceptor molecules, confirmed through transient absorption
spectroscopy as well as static and dynamic photoluminescence experiments.
Additionally, quadratic-to-linear incident power regimes for the upconversion
process were identified for this composition under monochromatic 488 nm
excitation, consistent with a sensitized TTA mechanism ultimately producing the
anti-Stokes emission characteristic of anthracene singlet fluorescence.
