Oxidation photochemistry of dimolybdenum(II) diaryl phosphate promoted by visible light
- Univ. of California, Irvine (USA)
The photochemical activity of the newly synthesized Mo{sub 2}(O{sub 2}(OC{sub 6}H{sub 5}){sub 2}){sub 4} quadruply bonded metal-metal complexes with halcarbon substrates has been investigated. The two-electron photoreduction of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) promoted by the {sup 1}({delta}{delta}*) excited state of Mo{sub 2}(O{sub 2}P(OC{sub 6}H{sub 5}){sub 2}){sub 4} is reported herein. Electron transfer from {sup 1}({delta}{delta}*) excited state of the dimolybdenum (II) diphenyl phosphate yields the Mo{sup II}Mo{sup III}Cl complex and {center dot}CH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}Cl, and the reaction of the radical with another equivalent of the starting molybdenum complex directly yields the observed photoproducts. 20 refs., 2 figs.
