Photophysical properties of an assembly containing a [Ru(bpy)3]2+ chromophore and a [Ru(bpy)(CN)4]2– quencher unit linked by a hydrogen-bonded interface based on the [Ru(bpy)(CN)4]2–/aza-crown association

The two complexes [(bpy)2Ru(bpy-cyclamH2)]4+ (Ru-cy; bpy = 2,2â²-bipyridine; bpy-cyclam = 1-(2,2â²-bipyridin-5-yl-methyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) and [Ru(bpy)(CN)4]2â (Ru-CN) associate in MeCN solution via a hydrogen-bonding interaction between the externally-directed lone pairs of the cyanide ligands on the Ru-CN unit, and the protonated amine sites of the cyclam macrocycle which is pendant from the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ core of the Ru-cy unit. Due to the sensitivity of the Ru-CN chromophore to interactions of the cyanide lone pairs, this association results in characteristic changes in its absorption and emission properties; viz. the 1MLCT absorption is blue-shifted, from 535 to 480 nm, and the 3MLCT emission is also blue-shifted, from 790 nm to 680 nm. In addition, the association
between the components results in quenching of the characteristic 3MLCT luminescence of the Ru-cy unit. Analysis of the absorption and emission properties of mixtures of the two components in varying proportions indicates that a 2 â¶ 1 associate Ru-cy:Ru-CN:Ru-cy forms, in which two of the cyanide ligands of Ru-CN interact with each of the Ru-cy units. The overall association constant for formation of this is Kass
= 2.6 à 1011 Mâ2; under the dilute conditions necessary for luminescence experiments the association is not complete however and some free Ru-CN and Ru-cy are also present in the equilibrium mixture. Within the hydrogen-bonded associate, quenching of the 3MLCT luminescence of the Ru-cy unit occurs, most likely by a Förster energy transfer mechanism, with ca. 88% efficiency and a rate constant
of kq
= 3.8 Ã 107 sâ1, corresponding to an inter-chromophore separation of ca. 11.5 Ã

两种配合物[(bpy)2Ru(bpy-cyclamH2)]4+(Ru-cy;bpy = 2,2â²-联吡啶;bpy-cyclam=1-(2,2â²-联吡啶-5-基-甲基)-1,4,8,11-四氮杂环十四烷)和[Ru(bpy)(CN)4]2â(Ru-CN)在 MeCN 溶液中通过 Ru-CN 单元上的氰配体的外部定向孤对之间的氢键相互作用而结合、和环胺大环的质子化胺位点之间的氢键相互作用而结合在一起,环胺大环悬垂于 Ru-Cy 单元的 [Ru(bpy)3]2+ 核心。由于 Ru-CN 发色团对氰基孤对作用的敏感性,这种结合导致其吸收和发射特性发生了特征性变化;即 1MLCT 的吸收从 535 纳米蓝移到 480 纳米,3MLCT 的发射也从 790 纳米蓝移到 680 纳米。此外,各成分之间的结合导致 Ru-cy 单元的特征性 3MLCT 发光被淬灭。对不同比例的两种成分混合物的吸收和发射特性的分析表明,Ru-cy:Ru-CN:Ru-cy 形成了 2 â¶ 1 的关联,其中 Ru-CN 的两个氰配体与每个 Ru-cy 单元相互作用。在发光实验所需的稀释条件下,这种结合并不完全,平衡混合物中还存在一些游离的 Ru-CN 和 Ru-cy。在氢键结合体中,Ru-cy 单元的 3MLCT 发光会发生淬灭,这很可能是通过弗斯特能量转移机制实现的,淬灭效率约为 88%,速率常数为 kq = 3.8 Ã 107 sâ1,对应于色相间分离约 11.5 Ã 。
