A ruthenium-bis-terpyridine complex [Ru(NPhtpy)(Ntpy)]2+ (22+) with two redox-asymmetric amine units has been prepared, where NPhtpy is 4-(di-p-anisylaminophen-4-yl)-2,2:6,2′-terpyridine and Ntpy is 4-(di-p-anisylamino)-2,2:6,2′-terpyridine. This complex displays two consecutive redox couples at +0.82 and +1.02 V vs Ag/AgCl, which are assigned to the N?+/0 processes of the amine components of the NPhtpy and Ntpy ligands, respectively. The mono-oxidized complex 23+ obtained by oxidative electrolysis shows the presence of the charge transfer from ruthenium(II) to the oxidized aminium radical cation of the NPhtpy ligand (MNNPhtpyCT) around 1000 nm. In the dioxidized form (24+), the MNNPhtpyCT transition decreased distinctly and an opposite charge transfer from ruthenium(II) to the oxidized aminium radical cation of the Ntpy ligand (MNNtpyCT) appeared at 1380 nm. Complexes [Ru(NPhtpy)(tpy)]2+ (tpy is 2,2:6,2′-terpyridine), [Ru(Ntpy)(tpy)]2+, and [Ru(NPhtpy)2]2+ have been prepared and studied for the purpose of comparison. TDDFT calculations show that the involvement of the intraligand charge transfer from both NPhtpy and Ntpy ligands is responsible for the enhancement of the visible absorptions of these complexes with respect to [Ru(tpy)2]2+. DFT and TDDFT calculations have been performed on 23+ and 24+ to provide information on the spin distributions and the nature of the near-infrared absorptions. Complex 23+ shows an isotropic EPR signal at room temperature, consistent with an unpaired electron localized on the nitrogen atom.
The d10 route to dye-sensitized solar cells: Step-wise assembly of zinc(ii) photosensitizers on TiO2 surfaces

Dye-sensitized solar cells have been assembled using a sequential approach: a TiO2 surface was functionalized with an anchoring ligand, followed by metallation with Zn(OAc)2 or ZnCl2, and subsequent capping with a chromophore functionalized 2,2′:6′,2″- terpyridine; the DSCs exhibit surprisingly good efficiencies confirming the effectiveness of the new strategy for zinc-based DSC fabrication.
