The Ground and Excited State Electronic Structures of Ruthenium Quinones and Related Species

Abstract

Electronic and resonance Raman spectroscopy are used to probe the electronic structures of bipyridine ruthenium complexes of quinone and a series of derivatives in which the oxygen atoms of quinone are successively replaced by NH. The electronic structures of some benzoquinonediimine species are probed by variation of substituent in the benzene ring, and the properties of a diaminophenyl substituted benzoquinonediimine are explored as a function of the twist at the 1,1'-link.
