Electronic peculiarities of the excited states of [RuN5C]+ vs. [RuN6]2+ polypyridine complexes: insight from theory.

چکیده
The ground state, oxidized ground state, (3)MLCT and (3)MC excited states have been studied by DFT and TDDFT for two Ru(II) complexes bearing an N(6) or N(5)C coordination sphere. The effect of replacing one Ru-N dative bond by one Ru-C covalent bond have been studied and quantified on their ground state by the means of geometry optimization, NBO analysis and calculation of their IR vibrations. IR fingerprints of the Ru-C bond have been found at 945 and 1113 cm(-1). In addition, this study confirmed and quantified the effects of N→C(-) substitution on the spectroscopic properties of the [RuN(5)C](+) complex: a broader and bathochromically-shifted absorption spectrum, a smaller ground-(3)MLCT energy gap and a highly energetic (3)MC state are the major characteristics of the carbon-containing monocationic complex.

متن کاملThe Frenkel exciton Hamiltonian for functionalized Ru(II)–bpy complexes
Electronic excitation energies and wavefunctions are calculated for RuðbpyÞþ2 3 (bpy1⁄4 2,2 0-bipyridine) and its two derivatives, where one or two bpy ligands are functionalized with carboxyl and methyl groups. We show that the structure of these molecules allows one to express their excitations in terms of wavefunctions localized on individual ligands via the Frenkel exciton model. The model ...
متن کاملSystematic Study of Modifications to Ru(II)-polypyridine Dyads for Electron Injection Enhancement
T metal complexes, and particularly ruthenium polypyridine complexes, can be used as catalysts or photocatalysts capable of performing water oxidation [1] or oxidation of organic compounds.[2,3] They can also be used as chromophores to harvest solar energy due to their absorption in the visible region. Therefore, understanding the nature of the electronic excited states in transition-metal comp...
متن کاملObservations on the low-energy limits for metal-to-ligand charge-transfer excited-state energies of ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes.
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...
