چکیده

The ethynyl-phenylene substituted 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (tpy) derivatives, 4-(phenyl-ethynyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (L(1)), 4-(methoxyphenyl-ethynyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (L(2)), 4-(tolyl-ethynyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (L(3)) and 4-(nitrophenyl-ethynyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (L(4)) have been used to synthesize four new [RuCl(2,2'-bipyridine)(L(n))]PF6 based complexes. Electronic absorption, resonance Raman, cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry aided by DFT calculations were used to explore the influence of the alkynyl substituents on the electronic structures, photochemical and redox properties of the complexes. Furthermore, it is shown that the addition of ethynyl phenyl moieties to the 4-position of the tpy ligand does not have a detrimental effect on these complexes, or the analogous aqua complexes, with respect to their ability to photocatalyse the oxidation of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol to the corresponding benzaldehyde.

Highly active and tunable catalysts for O2 evolution from water based on mononuclear ruthenium(II) monoaquo complexes.

The catalytic activity of [Ru(tpy)(bpy)OH(2)](2+) (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) increased by a 4'-substituted ethoxy group on the tpy ligand by more than one order of magnitude to give 1.1 × 10(-1) s(-1) of catalyst turnover frequency, which is comparable with the hitherto-reported champion data.

Directionality of Ultrafast Electron Transfer in a Hydrogen Evolving Ru−Pd-Based Photocatalyst

Directionality of electron transfer and long-lived charge separation are of key importance for efficient photocatalytic water splitting. Knowledge of the processes that follow photoexcitation is essential for the optimization of supramolecular assembly designs in order to improve the efficiency of photocatalytic hydrogen generation. Photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer processes within...

The title compound, [RuCl(C(6)H(7)N)(2)(C(27)H(35)N(3))]PF(6)·C(3)H(6)O, was obtained unintentionally as the product of the reaction of 1,1'-methyl-enebis(4-methyl-pyridinium) hexa-fluoriso-phos-phate and RuCl(3)(tpy*) (tpy* is 4,4',4''-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) in the presence of triethyl-amine and LiCl. The mol-ecular structure of the complex displays an octa-hedral geometry aro...

Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO by polypyridyl ruthenium complexes.

Electrocatalytic reduction of CO(2) by [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(solvent)](2+) (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and its structural analogs is initiated by sequential 1e(-) reductions at the tpy and bpy ligands followed by rate limiting CO(2) addition to give a metallocarboxylate intermediate. It undergoes further reduction and loss of CO.
