The photolysis reactions of the complex ions [Cr(en)2ox]+ and [Cren(ox)2]− have been studied in the pH range 1 → 3 and at temperatures from 0 to 25 °C. It has been found that both ions photoaquate to a monodentate protonated ethylenediamine complex which then undergoes further aquation thermally with loss of the ethylenediamine ligand. Quantum yields for these aquations were measured for irradiation into the ligand field bands, the values obtained being 0.18 and 0.02, respectively. The results are discussed in terms of known empirical correlations for Cr(III) complexes. Assuming these reactions may occur from the 4T2g state as precursor, arguments are presented that the correlation between quantum yield and ΔE may depend on mixing of the 4T2g and 2Eg states, and its effect on the intersystem crossing rate constant.

The photoreactions of cis- and trans-[CrCl2(en)2]+ have been investigated in acidic aqueous solution at pH 3 and 0 °C. On photolysis in the ligand field bands the cis isomer was found to undergo mainly ethylenediamine aquation, apparently to a thermally unstable monodentate protonated ethylenediamine complex, with a quantum yield of 0.13. In addition chloride aquation occurred with[Formula: see text]. In contrast, the trans isomer underwent exclusive chloride aquation with quantum yield 0.32. The results are qualitatively, but not quantitatively, in agreement with predictions of Adamson's empirical rules. It was found that for trans-[CrCl2(en)2]+ photolysis, the reaction product [CrCl(H2O)(en)2]2+ was produced at least 70% in the cis configuration.

Quantum yields of dechlorination and of intersystem crossing have been measured in cyclohexane for a series of chlorinated benzenes. The results are compatible with the reactions occurring predominantly from the triplet excited state. The quantum yield of reaction shows a concentration dependence on [Formula: see text], but the dependence is less for the more heavily chlorinated members of the scries.

Excited state dynamics, particularly intersystem crossing, of a set of meso-substituted porphyrins bearing different electron–donor and acceptor groups was studied by pulse train fluorescence technique. Triplet quantum yield was found to be critically dependent on the nature of meso-substituents in the porphyrin system. Porphyrins with meso methoxyphenyl groups were found to show high triplet quantum yields ([Formula: see text] between 0.70 and 0.81). Moreover, the quantity of methoxyphenyl groups and the substitution pattern directly influence [Formula: see text]. Alternatively, porphyrins attached to nitrophenyl group possess low triplet quantum yield values (~0.3). The observed structure-properties relationships suggest new ways for tuning the optical properties of porphyrins via chemical modification.

AbstractThe known ruthenium complex [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(Hmte)](PF6)2 ([1](PF6)2, where tpy = 2,2’:6’,2″-terpyridine, bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine, Hmte = 2-(methylthio)ethanol) is photosubstitutionally active but non-toxic to cancer cells even upon light irradiation. In this work, the two analogs complexes [Ru(tpy)(NN)(Hmte)](PF6)2, where NN = 3,3'-biisoquinoline (i-biq, [2](PF6)2) and di(isoquinolin-3-yl)amine (i-Hdiqa, [3](PF6)2), were synthesized and their photochemistry and phototoxicity evaluated to assess their suitability as photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) agents. The increase of the aromatic surface of [2](PF6)2 and [3](PF6)2, compared to [1](PF6)2, leads to higher lipophilicity and higher cellular uptake for the former complexes. Such improved uptake is directly correlated to the cytotoxicity of these compounds in the dark: while [2](PF6)2 and [3](PF6)2 showed low EC50 values in human cancer cells, [1](PF6)2 is not cytotoxic due to poor cellular uptake. While stable in the dark, all complexes substituted the protecting thioether ligand upon light irradiation (520 nm), with the highest photosubstitution quantum yield found for [3](PF6)2 (Φ[3] = 0.070). Compounds [2](PF6)2 and [3](PF6)2 were found both more cytotoxic after light activation than in the dark, with a photo index of 4. Considering the very low singlet oxygen quantum yields of these compounds, and the lack of cytotoxicity of the photoreleased Hmte thioether ligand, it can be concluded that the toxicity observed after light activation is due to the photoreleased aqua complexes [Ru(tpy)(NN)(OH2)]2+, and thus that [2](PF6)2 and [3](PF6)2 are promising PACT candidates.

AbstractA potentiometric titration method (PT) and a stopped-flow kinetic technique monitored by a UV−Vis spectroscopy have been used to characterize the stability of series of Co(II)- and Ni(II)-thiodiacetato complexes, M(TDA), in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2’-bipyridine (bipy) in aqueous solutions. The stability constants of the binary (1:1), ternary (1:1:1) as well as the resulting hydroxo complexes were evaluated and compared to the corresponding oxydiacetate complexes. Based on the species distribution as a function of pH the relative predominance of the species in the system over a pH range was discussed. Furthermore, the kinetic measurements of the substitution reactions of the aqua ligands to phen or bipy in the coordination sphere of the binary complexes M(TDA) were performed in the 288–303 K temperature range, at a constant concentration of phen or bipy and at seven different concentrations of the binary complexes (0.2–0.5 mM). The kinetic stability of the M(TDA) complexes was discussed in relation to the experimental conditions and the kind of the auxiliary ligands (phen/bipy). Moreover, the influence of the type of primary ligand (thiodiacetate/oxydiacetate) on the substitution rate of the auxiliary ligands was also compared.

Abstract The reactions of diluted aqueous solutions of SO2 resp. HSO3-ions with MnO4-or Ce4+ ions in the pH range 1-4 produce chemiluminescence in the spectral region of 450-600 nm. Measurements of the time course of the light emission and their simulation on an analog computer led to a reaction scheme in which a recombination product of primarily formed HSO3 radicals -of a lifetime of about 1 second -appears as precursor of electronically excited SO2 molecules. The participation of singlet oxygen can be excluded because at least the reaction with Ce4+ ions proceeds also in the absence of oxygen.
