Second sphere donor acceptor interactions in excited states of coordination compounds. Ruthenium(l1) bipyridine cyano complexes
نویسنده
چکیده
Donor-acceptor interactions at the periphery of a coordination compound can have important consequences on its photochemical and photophysical behavior. Effects of this type have been explored using Ru(I1) bipyridine complexes containing cyanide ligands. The cyanide ligands of these compkxes behave a6 eLectroR donors in interactions with acceptor solvents, protonation, methylation, and bridging to other metals with formation of polynuclear complexes. A variety of effects have been observed, ranging from (i) weak perturbations of the properties of the original complex, to (ii) major changes in the photophysical behavior of the complex via changes in redox potentials and excited state energy ordering, to (iii) induction of completely new properties characteristic of the complex-acceptor "supermolecule". Examples of such effects are discussed in some detail. The use of second-sphere donor-acceptor interactions to tune excited-state properties is stressed.

Two novel tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes bearing two and six beta-cyclodextrin binding sites on their ligands have been synthesised and characterised. Complex 1, bearing two cyclodextrins, adopts a conformation in aqueous solution where parts of the aromatic ligands are self-included into the cyclodextrin moieties. This results in a loss of symmetry of the complex and gives rise to a m...

The 77 K emission spectral maxima of bis(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes are found to approach a limit at energies below about 14,000 cm(-1). There is also evidence for related low-energy excited-state limits in some other classes of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes. The shapes of the vibronic sidebands found in these limits differ from those of complexes that emit at higher energies. These l...
