Title: Resonance Raman and photophysical studies of polypyridine complexes of ruthenium: Progress report for period March 1, 1987-February 28, 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5827174

The program is divided into two major projects. The first, involving the parent compound, Ru(2,2'-bipyridine)/sub 3//sup 2 +/, deals with the influence of the forms of the ground and excited state vibrational modes on the nonradiative decay rates. In order to make progress in this area, carefully conducted normal mode calculations are required for the ground and excited state species. Such a calculation for the ground state species has been completed. Following acquisition of excited state resonance Raman spectra, the calculation for this species is in progress. The second major area of interest is the investigation of structurally modified derivatives of Ru(2,2'-bipyridine)/sub 3//sup 2 +/. A number of series of mixed-ligand complexes have been prepared and their ground state Raman spectra obtained.
