Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 15746-57-3, Name is Cis-Dichlorobis(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II), Recommanded Product: 15746-57-3.
A set of molecular triads was synthesized in which terminal ruthenium(II) and osmium (II) tris(2,2′-bipyridyl) fragments were separated by a butadiynylene residue bearing a central aromatic nucleus. The aromatic groups (1,4-phenylene, 1,4-naphthalene, and 9,10-anthracene) significantly influenced the nature of intramolecular triplet energy-transfer processes involving the terminals. Electron exchange occurred via superexchange interactions with the central phenylene group acting as mediator. The triplet energy of the connector decreased after replacing phenylene with naphthalene, such that the naphthalene-like triplet lies at slightly lower energy than the Ru(bpy) fragment but higher than the triplet state localized on the Os(bpy) unit. Triplet energy transfer along molecular axis entailed two discrete steps, forming the naphthalene-like triplet as a real intermediate, both of which were fast. The triplet energy of the anthracene-derived connector, which was lower than that of the Os(bpy) fragment, acted as an energy sink for photons absorbed by the terminal metal complexes. There was a slow energy leakage from the anthracene-like triplet to the Os(bpy) unit, which stabilized the latter triplet state, and provided a way for obtaining energy transfer along the molecular axis.
Balanced chemical reaction does not necessarily reveal either the individual elementary reactions by which a reaction occurs or its rate law.Recommanded Product: 15746-57-3. In my other articles, you can also check out more blogs about 15746-57-3
