, p. 1113 - 1114 (2007/10/02)
The reactions of 4,4'-bipyridine and nicotinamide with 1,3-propane sultone yields zwitterionic electron acceptors.Reaction of dimethylaminoethyl ferrocene with 1,3-propane sultone yields a zwitterionic ferrocene electron donor.The electron acceptors and donor are reduced and oxidized to the respective radical anions and ferrocenyl cation.Dipropyl-4,4'-bipyridinium disulfonate and the ferrocene derivative quench the excited Ru(bipy)32+.
