Photoinduced Electron and Energy Transfer in Rigidly Bridged Ru(II)-Rh(III) Binuclear Complexes

A series of binuclear Ru(II)-Rh(III) complexes of general formula (ttpy)Ru-tpy-(ph)(n)-tpy-Rh(ttpy)(5+) (n = 0-2) have been synthesized, where ttpy = 4'-p-tolyl-2,2':6,2"-terpyridine and tpy-(ph)(n)-tpy represents a bridging ligand where two 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine units are either directly linked together (n = 0) or connected through one (n = 1) or two (n = 2) phenyl spacers in the 4'-position. This series of complexes is characterized by (i) rigid bridge structures and (ii) variable metal-metal distances (11 ? for n = 0, 15.5 ? for n = 1, 20 ? for n = 2). The photophysics of these binuclear complexes has been investigated in 4:1 methanol/ethanol at 77 K (rigid glass) and 150 K (fluid solution) and compared with that of mononuclear [Ru(ttpy)(2)(2+) and Rh(ttpy)(2)(3+)] or binuclear [(ttpy)Ru-tpy-tpy-Ru(ttpy)(4+)] model compounds. At 77 K, no quenching of the Ru(II)-based excited state is observed, whereas energy transfer from excited Rh(III) to Ru(II) is observed for all complexes. At 150 K, energy transfer from excited Rh(III) to Ru(II) is again observed for all complexes, while quenching of excited Ru(II) by electron transfer to Rh(III) is observed, but only in the complex with n = 0. The reasons for the observed behavior can be qualitatively understood in terms of standard electron and energy transfer theory. The different behavior between n = 0 and n = 1, 2 can be rationalized in terms of better electronic factors and smaller reorganizational energies for the former species. The freezing of electron transfer quenching but not of energy transfer, in rigid glasses reflects the different reorganizational energies involved in the two processes. Unusual results arising from multiphotonic and conformational effects have also been observed with these systems.     

Gold(II) Porphyrins in Photoinduced Electron Transfer Reactions

In the context of solar-to-chemical energy conversion, inspired by natural photosynthesis, the synthesis, electrochemical properties and photoinduced electron-transfer processes of three novel zinc(II)-gold(III) bis(porphyrin) dyads [Zn^II(P)–Au^III(P)]⁺ are presented (P: tetraaryl porphyrin). Time-resolved spectroscopic studies indicated ultrafast dynamics (k >10¹⁰ s⁻¹) after visible-light excitation, which finally yielded a charge-shifted state [Zn^II(P ^{⋅ +})–Au^II(P)]⁺ featuring a gold(II) center. The lifetime of this excited state is quite long due to a comparably slow charge recombination (k ≈3×10⁸ s⁻¹). The [Zn^II(P ^{⋅ +})–Au^II(P)]⁺ charge-shifted state is reductively quenched by amines in bimolecular reactions, yielding the neutral zinc(II)–gold(II) bis(porphyrin) Zn^II(P)–Au^II(P). The electronic nature of this key gold(II) intermediate, prepared by chemical or photochemical reduction, is elucidated by UV/Vis, X-band EPR, gold L₃-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and paramagnetic ¹H NMR spectroscopy as well as by quantum chemical calculations. Finally, the gold(II) site in Zn^II(P)–Au^II(P) is thermodynamically and kinetically competent to reduce an aryl azide to the corresponding aryl amine, paving the way to catalytic applications of gold(III) porphyrins in photoredox catalysis involving the gold(III/II) redox couple.     

2-(4-Cyanophenyl)-5-aryloxazoles

2-(4-Cyanophenyl)-5-aryloxazoles have been obtained by dyhydration of 4-(5-aryloxazolyl-2)benzamides with thionyl chloride in DMFA, then the spectral and luminescent properties of the former have been investigated. Introduction of the cyano group into the 2-phenyl radical of 2,5-diphenyloxazole leads to significant bathochromic and bathofluoric effects.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1265–1266, September, 1986.

Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) Complexes with 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-Triazole

New complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) with 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (L) of the composition ML₂(H₂O)₂(NO₃)₂ · nH₂O (M = Co(II), n = 3; M = Ni(II), n = 0; M = Cu(II), n = 0) were synthesized and studied by photoelectron and IR spectroscopy, magnetochemistry, thermogravimetry, and X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The type of _eff(T) relationship suggests that paramagnetic centers in the Co(II) chloride and Cu(II) nitrate and bromide complexes are involved in antiferromagnetic exchange interactions. The exchange energy values were estimated by the molecular field method.

Kinetics of the Reductions of (Ethylenediaminetetraacetato)cobaltate(III) by 4,4-Dipyridylamine Complexes of Pentacyanoferrate(II) and Pentaammineruthenium(II)

The reactions of Fe(CN)₅dpa^3? and Ru(NH₃)₅dpa²⁺ (dpa = 4,4′-dipyridylamine) with Co(edta)^? have been investigated kinetically. For Fe(CN)₅dpa^3? complex, a linear relationship was observed between the pseudo-First-order rate constants and the concentrations of Co(edta) which leads to a specific rate 0.876 ± 0.006 M^?1S^?1 at T = 25°C., μ = 0.10 M and pH = 8.0. For the Ru(NH₃)₅dpa²⁺ system, the plots k_obs vs [Co(edta)^?] become nonlinear at concentrations of Co(edta) greater than 0.01 M and the reaction is interpreted on the basis of a mechanism involving the formation of an ion pair between Ru(NH₃)₅dpa²⁺ and Co(edta)^? followed by electron transfer from Ru(II) to Co(III). The nonlinear least squares fit of the kinetic results shows that Q_ip = 10.6 ± 0.7 M^?1 and k_et = 93.9 ± 0.7 s^?1 at pH = 8.0,μ = 0.10 M and T = 25°C.

Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Clicked Ferrocene-BODIPY-Fullerene Conjugates

Ferrocene-BODIPY (Fc-BDP) conjugates in which one or two ferrocene entities are linked to the β-positions of the BODIPY core by an ethynyl bridge have been developed. These derivatives were easily and efficiently grafted onto a dual-clickable fullerene platform using CuAAC reactions, leading to a clickable Fc-BDP-C₆₀ triad and a clickable [Fc]₂-BDP-C₆₀ tetrad which can be used for further derivatization with complex structures. Due to the extended π-conjugation and the presence of an intramolecular charge transfer band from Fc to BDP, all these conjugates display a broad absorption in the visible region, which is bathochromically shifted when two Fc are appended to the BDP core. Ultrafast multistep electron transfers leading to charge stabilization were demonstrated in the Fc-BDP-C₆₀ triad and [Fc]₂-BDP-C₆₀ tetrad by femtosecond transient absorption studies.     

富电子芳烃的电子转移光氧化反应

9,10-二氰蒽(DCA)敏化的烯烃和某些小环化合物的电子转移光氧化反应近年来研究很活跃。在芳烃光氧化方面,单重态氧反应限于多环芳烃和高度富电子的苯衍生物。一般烷基苯和富电子程度较小的芳烃,对~1O_2为隋性。因而电子转移历程为芳烃光氧化反应提供了新途径。但迄今芳烃的电子转移光氧化仍研究较少,历程看法也存在分歧。本文报道DCA和四氯对苯二醌(TCBQ)敏化的邻、间、对二甲苯(1,2,3),对-甲氧基     

哑铃型富勒烯化合物的光诱导电子转移反应

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of DTE-azomethine ylides (DTE: dithienyl-ethene) to C60 in refluxed toluene was used to synthesize novel dumbbell-type fullerene dimer 1. For the sake of comparison, the monoadduct 2 were also synthesized. The molecular geometries of these two compounds were determined by theoretical calculations with HF-3/21G method. UV-Vis and fluorescence experiments were carried out in solvents with different polarity at the room temperature. All the results indicated the existence of a photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer process between the donor and acceptor moieties.
