Elucidating charge-transfer dynamics of transition metal complexes is crucial for the understanding of a multitude of biochemical processes. Raman spectroscopy is a useful tool to study model complexes mimicking these processes.

By resonant excitation of the transition state, the electron transfer is accessible through vibrational modes, which are coupled to metal-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) and ligand-metal charge transfer (LMCT) states.

We have studied bioinorganic copper complexes using resonant as well as time-resolved Raman spectroscopy. For complexes stable at temperatures below -60 °C we have designed a Peltier cooled cryostat for our UT-3 Raman spectrometer, allowing operando oxygenation and measurement of the samples at temperatures down to -90 °C.

For samples that are damaged by laser radiation, we have designed several jet-based delivery systems. Jet diameters down to 10 μm and flow rates of 15 μL/min allowed us to measure small sample volumes for several hours.
