Title: Control of photosubstitution in dinuclear ruthenium polypyridyl complexes by choice of bridging ligand

Journal Article · · Inorganic Chemistry

Photochemical studies of [(Ru(bpy){sub 2}){sub 2}(bpzt)]{sup 3+} are discussed. The results are compared with earlier studies on complexes containing the 3,5`-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (Hbpt). Differences in the {pi}{sup *} levels in Hbpt versus Hbpzt ligands alter the location of the LUMO for the complexes. The objective of these studies is to investigate the photochemistry of these complexes.
