Popis: | Photochromic [Ru(bpy)(2)(OSO)](PF(6)), where bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine and OSO is 2-methylsulfinylbenzoate, was investigated by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The results show that for both S- and O-bonded isomers, a (3)MLCT state is formed on a femtosecond time scale. Also observed is the formation of multiple metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) states, representing different conformers, prior to isomerization on the picosecond time scale. These results and others are compiled in an energy diagram depicting these results. |
