a

Unless noted otherwise, studies on 1-Zn, 2-Zn, 2-Pd, and 2-InCl at 295 K utilized samples in MeOH/THF = 3:1, and studies at 77 K utilized samples in frozen ethanol glasses. Studies on ZnTPP and PdTPP utilized samples in toluene, except for determinations of τT, which used 2-MeTHF solutions (295 K) or frozen glasses (77 K).

b

Calculated using Eq. (4).

c

Calculated using Eq. (5).

d

Calculated using Eq. (6) and the value of kic = (16.2 ns)−1 for ZnTPP.

e

Calculated using Eq. (7) and the value in the preceding column.

f

Obtained by multiplying the Φpf (obtained from the emission spectra at 77 K) times the value of Φf determined at 295 K, assuming that Φf is not affected substantially by temperature [29,49].

g

The values in cPBS and cPBS/BSA are 2.5 ns and 2.7 ns, respectively.

h

The values in cPBS and cPBS/BSA are 0.019 and 0.020, respectively.

i

The values in cPBS and cPBS/BSA are (132 ns)−1 and (135 ns)−1, respectively.

j

Compound in ethanol.

k

The values in cPBS and cPBS/BSA are 2.6 ns and 2.7 ns, respectively.

l

The values in cPBS and cPBS/BSA are 0.019 and 0.014, respectively.

m

The values in cPBS and cPBS/BSA are (136 ns)−1 and (193 ns)−1, respectively.

n

Obtained assuming an average value of ES − ET = 3500 cm−1 from 1-Zn, 2-Zn, and 2-Pd.

o

Measured in toluene in ref. 31. A value of 2.2 ns is measured in toluene in ref. 49. A value of 2.7 ns is measured in methylcyclohexane in ref. 34.

p

Measured in toluene in refs. 22 and 49, and in methylcyclohexane in ref. 34.

q

The same value is derived in ref. 49 and a value of 59 in ref. 34.

r

Derived from the values obtained in ref. 50 (0.83) and here (0.9).

s

A value of 2.8 ns is reported in ref. 34.

t

Additional values are reported in refs. 49 (0.37) and 51 (0.32).

u

Additional values are reported in refs. 49 (25) and 34 (26).

v

Additional values are reported in refs. 34 (0.012) and 49 (0.015).

w

Additional values are reported in refs. 49 (1700) and 34 (2000).

x

Calculated as described in the text. A value of 0.02 ns near the instrument limit is reported in ref. 34.

y

Averaged of values from refs. 52 (0.00015), 25 (0.0002), and 34 (0.0002).

z

Calculated as described in the text. A value of 0.02 is derived in ref. 34.

aa

No fluorescence is observed, so the ratio is calculated based on the phosphorescence intensity above the baseline.

ab

Additional values are reported in refs. 35 (2.4) and 34 (2.8).

ac

Additional values are reported in refs. 52 (0.08), 34 (0.17), and 35 (0.2).
