A new series of (Ru(bpy){sub 2}(L))(PF{sub 6}){sub 2} complexes, where bpy = 2,2{prime}-bipyridine and L = 3-(pyrazin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (HLO), 1-methyl-3-(pyrazin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (L1), 1-methyl-5-(pyrazin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (L2), and 3-methyl-5-(pyrazin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (HO3), have been prepared and characterized. {sup 1}H NMR spectroscopy has been used to analyze the coordination modes of the ligands, while UV-vis absorption, emission, and resonance Raman spectroscopies, together with electrochemistry, have been used to study the properties of the complexes in their ground and excited states. Electrochemical data and resonance Raman experiments show that in the compounds containing protonated or N-methyl-substituted pyrazinyltriazole ligands the lowest {pi}* levels are pyrazinyltriazole based, while for the complexes with deprotonated ligands the lowest {pi}* levels are located on the bpy ligands. Furthermore, the emission data (lifetimes and maxima) suggest that the emitting states can be changed from bpy to pyrazinyltriazole based upon lowering the pH for (Ru(bpy){sub 2}(L0)){sup +} and (Ru(bpy){sub 2}(L3)){sup +}. Another interesting feature is that the absorption and emission maxima of (Ru(bpy){sub 2}(L0)){sup +} and (Ru(bpy){sub 2}(L3)){sup +}. Another interesting feature is that the absorption and emission maxima of (Ru(bpy){sub 2}(L0)){sup +} and (Ru(bpy){sub 2}(L3)){sup +} do not change to a large extent when the pH is lowered. 39 refs., 8 figs., 4 tabs.
