Abstract
We have recently prepared the [Ru(phen)2(pPDIp)]2+ complex which is capable to mimic key features of the photosynthetic center (cumulative absorption of photons to separate charges by electron transfer) to promote challenging chemical. The interplay between the two chromophores Ru(II)-pPDIp coordination and p-p stacking of the pPDIp arrays in the dyad is markedly influenced by the medium …
