Abstract: | The calculations of the electronic structure and spectra of [Ru(NH3)5L]2+ (L = imidazole, histidine) and [Ru(NH3)5L]3+ (L = imidazole, N-imidazolate anion, 4-methylimidazole, 4-methyl-1N-imidazolate anion and 1N-bound histidine) complexes are performed in the framework of the CI method in the INDO/CNDO approximation. The MO diagram is obtained. The assignment of all transitions with energies of 4-5 eV is made and the nature of corresponding excited states is discussed. For the Ru(II) complexes, the lower energy observable transition is assigned to d-->pi* type, whereas the higher energy one is assigned to pi-->pi* type. In the spectra of the Ru(III) complexes with charged ligands both transitions are of pi-->d character, while in the case of uncharged ligands, the higher energy transition mostly incorporates pi-->pi* excitations. |
