Abstract
AbstractMetalloligands L1 and L2 consisting of directional bis(terpyridine)ruthenium(II) units and bipyridine moieties were constructed by amide formation. From these metalloligands two Ru–Pt heterobimetallic complexes 1 and 2 were derived by a building‐block method by means of platination with [PtCl2(dmso)2]. Both bimetallic complexes 1 and 2 feature metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorptions, and emission occurs at room temperature in fluid solution from 3MLCT(Ru) states in all cases. Energy transfer from platinum to ruthenium is observed in 2 but not in 1 (light harvesting). The one‐electron‐reduced species [1]– and [2]– were prepared by reduction of 1 and 2 with decamethylcobaltocene. EPR spectra and DFT calculations reveal that the spin density is localized at the tpy–CO/Ru (tpy = terpyridine) site in [1]–, whereas it is centered at bpy–CO/Pt (bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine) in [2]–. Efficient photoinduced electron transfer from triethanolamine to 1 and 2 is feasible by excitation at 500 nm [MLCT(Ru)].
