ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Study of a Mixed-Ligand Ruthenium(II) Complex in Its Ground and Excited States: Bis(2,2′-bipyridine)(dipyrido(3,2-a:2′,3′-c)phenazine-N4N5)ruthenium(II).
Abstract
The data of the maxima of the MLCT absorption and emission for the title complex (I) suggest that it is made up of two electronically independent units, one behaving as a tris(bipyridine)ruthenium-like chromophore, the other as a phenazine-like electron acceptor.
ChemInform Abstract
The data of the maxima of the MLCT absorption and emission for the title complex (I) suggest that it is made up of two electronically independent units, one behaving as a tris(bipyridine)ruthenium-like chromophore, the other as a phenazine-like electron acceptor. Excited-state absorption spectra for (I) are obtained and can be interpreted in terms of a light-induced directed charge-transfer from the ruthenium to the phenazine part of the dipyridophenazine ligand, and its localization on this ligand moiety.
