Cis-trans photoisomerization in Ru(bpy)/sub 2/(OH/sub 2/)/sub 2//sup 2 +/. Crystal structure of trans-(Ru(bpy)/sub 2/(OH/sub 2/)(OH))(ClO/sub 4/)/sub 2/
Abstract
The cis reversible trans photoisomerization of Ru(bpy)/sub 2/(OH/sub 2/)/sub 2//sup 2 +/ in acidic aqueous solution has been investigated. The reaction is independent of the wavelength of irradiation and occurs with quantum yields of 0.043 (cis ..-->.. trans) and 0.025 (trans ..-->.. cis). In the presence of ClO/sub 4//sup -/ the photochemical oxidation of Ru(bpy)/sub 2/(OH/sub 2/)/sub 2//sup 2 +/ to Ru(bpy)/sub 2/(OH/sub 2/)(OH)/sup 2 +/ occurs and the quantum efficiency for this reaction is linearly dependent on (ClO/sub 4//sup -/). The isomerization and oxidation reactions are interpreted as occurring by a dissociative pathway which results from the thermal population of a low lying d-d state which lies above a lowest lying metal-ligand charge-transfer state. The crystal structure of trans-(Ru(bpy)/sub 2/(OH/sub 2/)OH)(ClO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ has been determined from three-dimensional x-ray counter data. The complex crystallizes in the trigonal space group P3/sub 1/21 with three formula units in a cell of dimensions a = 10.902 (2), c = 17.070 (40 A. The structure has been refined to a final value of the conventional R factor of 0.031 based on 2259 independent observations. The geometry of the complex is roughly octahedral, with Ru-N bonds of 2.090 (3) and 2.099 (3) A. Themore »

The geometry of the complex is roughly octahedral, with Ru-N bonds of 2.090 (3) and 2.099 (3) A. The Ru atom lies on a twofold axis, which constrains the two coordinated oxygen atoms to be equivalent; the additional hydrogen atom formally associated with the water ligand forms a symmetrical hydrogen bond to the hydroxyl ligand on an adjacent ion. The Ru-O distance is 2.007 (3) A.},
