Abstract

We report the complex [Ru(deeb)(bpz) ₂] ²⁺ ( RuBPZ ²⁺, deeb = 4,4'-diethylester-2,2'-bipyridine, bpz = 2,2'-bipyrazine) forms a single ion pair with bromide, [ RuBPZ ²⁺, Br ^–] ⁺, with K _eq = 8400 ± 200 M ^–1 in acetone. The RuBPZ ²⁺ displayed photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature with a lifetime of 1.75 μs. The addition of bromide to a RuBPZ ²⁺ acetone solution led to significant PL quenching and Stern–Volmer plots showed upward curvature. Time-resolved PL measurements identified two excited state quenching pathways, static and dynamic, which were operative toward [ RuBPZ ²⁺, Br ^–] ⁺ and free RuBPZ ²⁺, respectively. The single ion-pair [ RuBPZ ²⁺, Br ^–] ⁺* had a lifetime of 45 ± 5 ns, consistent with an electron transfer rate constant, k _et = (2.2 ± 0.3) × 10 ⁷ s ^–1. In contrast, RuBPZ ²⁺* was dynamically quenched by bromide with a quenching rate constant, k _q = (8.1 ± 0.1) × 10 ¹⁰ M ^–1 s ^–1. Nanosecond transient absorption revealed that both the static and dynamic pathways yielded RuBPZ ⁺ and Br ₂ ^•– products that underwent recombination to regenerate the ground state with a second-order rate constant, k _cr =more »« less

The RuBPZ2+ displayed photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature with a lifetime of 1.75 μs.

Time-resolved PL measurements identified two excited state quenching pathways, static and dynamic, which were operative toward [RuBPZ2+, Br–]+ and free RuBPZ2+, respectively. The single ion-pair [RuBPZ2+, Br–]+* had a lifetime of 45 ± 5 ns, consistent with an electron transfer rate constant, ket = (2.2 ± 0.3) × 107 s–1. In contrast, RuBPZ2+* was dynamically quenched by bromide with a quenching rate constant, kq = (8.1 ± 0.1) × 1010 M–1 s–1. Nanosecond transient absorption revealed that both the static and dynamic pathways yielded RuBPZ+ and Br2•– products that underwent recombination to regenerate the ground state with a second-order rate constant, kcr = (2.3 ± 0.5) × 1010 M–1 s–1. Kinetic analysis revealed that RuBPZ+ was a primary photoproduct, while Br2•– was secondary product formed by the reaction of a Br• with Br–, k = (1.1 ± 0.2) × 1010 M–1 s–1. Marcus theory afforded an estimate of the formal reduction potential for E0(Br•/–) in acetone, 1.42 V vs NHE. A 1H NMR analysis indicated that the ion-paired bromide was preferentially situated close to the RuII center. Prolonged steady state photolysis of RuBPZ2+ and bromide yielded two ligand-substituted photoproducts, cis- and trans-Ru(deeb)(bpz)Br2. Finally, a photochemical intermediate, proposed to be [Ru(deeb)(bpz)(κ1-bpz)(Br)]+, was found to absorb a second photon to yield cis- and trans-Ru(deeb)(bpz)Br2 photoproducts.},

The reduction of Ru(bpz)/sub 3//sup 2 +/ in aqueous solution has been investigated by using radiolytic and electrochemical techniques.

Luminescence quenching and flash photolysis (pulsed laser and conventional) techniques have been employed to study the photodynamics of the Ru(bpz)/sub 3//sup 2 +//EDTA system in aqueous solution (bpz = 2,2'-bipyrazine; MV/sup 2 +/ = methylviologen).

The photodynamics of aqueous solutions containing Ru(bpz){sub 3}{sup 2+} (bpz = 2,2{prime}-bipyrazine) and reductive quenchers (D = EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), C{sub 2}O{sub 4}{sup 2{minus}}, TEOA (triethanolamine), ascorbate ion, and thiols (RS{sup {minus}}), e.g., cysteins and glutathione) in the presence and absence of MV{sup 2+} (methylviologen) have been evaluated by the use of time-resolved spectrofluorimetry and pulsed laser flash photolysis as a function of pH, (D), and (MV{sup 2+}); as well, we have determined {Phi}(MV{sup {sm bullet}+}) from the continuous photolyses of these systems.

Observation of dihalide elimination upon electron attachment to oxalyl chloride and oxalyl bromide, 300-550 K

Journal Article Van Doren, Jane M. ; Hogan, Kathleen B. ; Miller, Thomas M. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Rate coefficients have been measured for electron attachment to oxalyl chloride [ClC(O)C(O)Cl] and oxalyl bromide [BrC(O)C(O)Br] in He gas at 133 Pa pressure over the temperature range of 300-550 K. With oxalyl chloride, the major ion product of attachment is Cl{sub 2}{sup -} at all temperatures (66% at 300 K); its importance increases slightly as temperature increases. Two other product ions formed are Cl{sup -} (18% at 300 K) and the phosgene anion CCl{sub 2}O{sup -} (16% at 300 K) and appear to arise from a common mechanism. With oxalyl bromide, the Br{sub 2}{sup -} channel represents almost half ofmore »« less
