Özet
We investigated the nature of the visible-light-driven photochemical reactions of the Ru(ii) polypyridyl complexes [Ru(ii)(L)(bpy) 2](PF6)n (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; L = phbn, n = 1; L = pad, n = 1; L = pbn, n = 2) with Et3N as a sacrificial reductant on the basis of density functional calculations. It is estimated that the reduction of the photo-excited species [Ru*(II)(L)(bpy) 2]n+ to [Ru(ii)(L-) (bpy)2] (n-1)+ is moderately endothermic, the protonation of the latter to [Ru(ii)(LH)(bpy)2]n+ substantially exothermic, and the bimolecular hydrogen-transfer interaction of the latter to [Ru(ii)(LHH)(bpy) 2]n+ and [Ru(ii)(L)(bpy)2]n+ weakly exothermic. The amount of visible-light energy that the Ru(ii) polypyridyl complexes 1-3 can store by forming one N-H and one C-H bond is of the order of ∼20-30 kcal mol-1. The visible-light absorption of [Ru(ii)(L)(bpy)2]n+ forming the photo-excited species [Ru*(II)(L)(bpy)2]n+ induces electron loss in the ligand L, showing that the character of the ligand-to-metal charge transfer is stronger than that of the metal-to-ligand charge transfer. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
