Inverse Kinetic Isotope Effect in the Excited-State Relaxation of a Ru(II)–Aquo Complex: Revealing the Impact of Hydrogen-Bond Dynamics on Nonradiative Decay

Abstract: Photophysics of the MLCT excited-state of [Ru(bpy)(tpy)(OH2)](2+) (1) and [Ru(bpy)(tpy)(OD2)](2+) (2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and tpy = 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) have been investigated in room-temperature H2O and D2O using ultrafast transient pump-probe spectroscopy. An inverse isotope effect is observed in the ground-state recovery for the two complexes. These data indicate control of excited-state lifetime via a pre-equilibrium between the (3)MLCT state that initiates H-bond dynamics with the solvent and the (3… Show more

“…For example, upon irradiation in the visible range of a basic solution of ( 1 ) 2+ , its emission becomes weaker and its decay shows biexponential behavior, with a short lifetime component that is more pronounced upon extended times of irradiation (Figure ). This behavior, also observed for ( 2 ) 2+ , indicates that the products of the photolysis, ( 1a ) 2+ and ( 2a ) 2+ , are weak emitters, as found for other Ru II –aquo complexes . The observed change in the emission properties of these complexes upon irradiation provides an alternative way to monitor the photolysis reaction when the reaction conditions preclude the use of visible absorption, as in a heterogeneous medium.…”

“…Following excitation at 505 nm, both compounds give rise to an initial excited state spectrum (ES1 505 nm ) typical of the 3 MLCT states seen in ruthenium polypyridine complexes, 24 , 37 , 40 , 42 45 with bleaching in the spectral area of the ground state absorption and a weaker positive transient in the spectral range of >550 nm (3D maps and ES1 505 nm in Fig. 3 and S2 † ).…”

“…Spectroelectrochemistry has been successfully used to assign the patterns observed in the differential spectra of the MLCT excited states of ruthenium polypyridines. 24 , 34 40 Fig. 2 shows the differential changes for metal oxidation (upper panel) and ligand reduction (middle panel) and both contributions summed up (bottom panel) for RubNCS + and RubCN + .…”

“…The ruthenium(II) complexes with polypyridyl ligands have been extensively studied as promising functional molecules due to the unique photochemical [1][2][3][4][5][6] and photophysical [7][8][9] properties related to a photoexcited triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer ( 3 MLCT) state as well as redox properties including electrochromism [10,11], and the multi-electron transfer catalysis. [12][13][14][15] These properties are responsible for potential applications of the ruthenium(II) complexes to a large variety of devices including sensors [16,17], photovoltaic cells [18][19][20], displays [21,22], and photocatalysts.…”
