Synthesis and Characterization of Tris(4,4-Dichloro-2,2-Bipyridine) Ruthenium (II)

    Research output: Contribution to conferenceOther

    Abstract

    [Ru(4,4-dichloro-2,2-bipy) 3 ]Cl 2 complex has been synthesized and purified by column chromatography resulting in a 60% yield. The complex was characterized by NMR, IR, and UV-Vis. Electrochemistry data confirmed the redox potential of Ru 2+ /Ru 3+ in the [Ru(4,4-dichloro-2,2-bipy) 3 ] Cl 2 complex was lower than the standard [Ru(bpy) 3 ](BF 4 ) 2 in dimethyl sulfoxide. The quantum yield of the [Ru(4,4-dichloro-2,2-bipy) 3 ] Cl 2 complex was calculated after comparing with calibrated standards. This complex will be used to improve its photosensitizing properties by adding auxiliary ligands to the chlorinated bipyridine groups.
