feasible. Lifetimes of the lowest triplet state of these complexes were determined to be 107 ns, 373 ns, and 386 ns for Os-dipy, Os-phen, and Os-diphen, respectively, using nanosecond transient absorption spectra. From steady-state phosphorescence emission spectra, energies of the triplet states were derived to be 1.75 eV, 1.80 eV, and 1.74 eV for Os-dipy, Os-phen, and Os-diphen, respectively. Using these photosensitizers, strong upconverted fluorescence of the triplet acceptors, 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA), perylene, and 9,10-bis(phenethynyl) anthracene (BPEA), was observed in the visible to violet range. In particular, fluorescence emission with the largest anti-Stokes shift of 1.14 eV was observed for the Os-phen/DPA system, and the upconverted quantum yield was determined as 5.9% in deoxygenated dichloroethane. Additionally, upconversion was determined in air using mixtures of dichloroethane and DMSO solvents, and the maximal quantum yield was measured to be 4.5% for Os-phen/DPA.
