Abstract

[Ru(dcbpy)3]2+ (dcbpy = 4,4′-dicarboxyl-2,2′-bipyridine) ion, in the excited state, undergoes facile electron transfer (ET) reaction with aryl methyl and dialkyl sulfides and the quenching rate constant, kq value is sensitive to the structure of the sulfide. The detection of the sulfur radical cation in this system using time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy confirms the ET nature of the reaction. The semiclassical theory of ET has been successfully applied to the photoluminescence quenching of [Ru(dcbpy)3]2+ with sulfides. This is the first report for the generation and detection ofsulfide radical cations from the excited state reaction of Ru(ii) complex with organic sulfides.

  86. There is no significant change in the Ru-N bond distance when [Ru(NN)3]+ is formed after electron transfer from phenolate ion to *[Ru(NN)3]2+. But a difference of 0.13 Å is noticed in the C-O bond distance when phenoxyl radical is formed from the phenolate ion after ET. To, account for this bond distance during ET a value of 0.2 eV has been calculated for λi.(see ref. 24-26).
