Abstract
Pressure tuning spectroscopy has proved to be a powerful tool for studying a wide variety of electronic phenomena. In this review we present two recent examples of the application of high pressure luminescence: (1) a test of the validity of a kinetic model for the emission characteristics of molecules that emit from excited states with different degrees of charge transfer and different geometries (molecules with twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT)); (2) an elucidation of the mechanism for the large difference observed between the luminescence efficiencies of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and [Ru(bpy)2(py)2]2+ in solid media.
