Studies on RuPd, RuPt and RuRu, Complexes-irradiated aqueous solutions of ch3cn- using high performance liquid chromatography, resonance Raman and NMR spectroscopy

Ru-polypyridyl complexes are widely selected as the photosensitiser, while Pt or Pd based moieties bound via a bridging ligand are attractive catalytic centers due to their low overpotential for proton reduction, which is very challenging due to their short lifetimes We have recently observed for a series of Ru/Pd and Ru/Pt photocatalysts that photoexcitation not only leads to population of Franck-Condon states localised on the bridging ligand, but also on states localised on the peripheral ligands.

UV/Vis, resonance-Raman, and transientabsorption spectroscopy have been employed to characterize the catalytically competent intermediate.
