Kinetics and Stochastic Simulation analysis of Energy Transfer in Metal Organic Frameworks
Abstract:

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are novel type of materials with many applications. Fast energy and charge transfer in a new type of MOF doped by ruthenium (Ru) and osmium (Os) has been used for efficient energy migration and transfer pathways1. We theoretically investigated the energy transfer by using classical kinetic theory in this MOF system. By assuming a Dexter type of energy transfer mechanism, our stochastic simulation is able to reproduce main features of the experimental recorded emission intensity from Os sites. Furthermore we examine the mixed energy transfer mechanism including both Förster type and Dexter type in rigid medium and proposed potential spectroscopic characteristics in identification of energy transfer mechanism in experiment. These results provide insight in energy transfer efficiency and guidance in designing more complex and efficient Solar MOFs.
