a small deviation in acetonitrile (λ M = Rh<br />
em, ACN<br />
≈ 625 nm). These intermediate emission wavelengths<br />
represent the influence of the phenanthroline fused NHC moiety on energy of the 3 MLCTemission<br />
involving LUMO ( ̂LL)s in bbip. Seemingly, this differs from the 1 MLCT-absorption<br />
involved LUMO ( ̂LL) as they are relatively unperturbed by the change of the nature of the second<br />
sphere. This observation is very similar to the findings of the tpphz and dppz containing complexes<br />
(see discussion in chapter 1.10.1 on page 42 ff.). Based on this similarity, it can be assumed that a<br />
(phenanthroline)/bipyridine centered π*-orbital (LUMO (bpy) ) and a (benz)imidazole centered π*-<br />
orbital (LUMO (im) ) exists in such complexes. Furthermore, it can be speculated that the LUMO (bpy)<br />
is mainly involved in the absorption process and that is is only little influenced by the imidazole (all<br />
