EXAFS, DFT, light-induced nucleobase binding, and cytotoxicity of the photoactive complex cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)Cl]+
The aqueous photochemistry of cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)Cl]+ (1) was investigated at 310 K and under visible light (white) irradiation by NMR and ESI-HR-MS. Complex 1 releases a Cl ligand, coordinates a solvent molecule, and forms the complex cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)(H2O)]2+ (2). Also, irradiation experiments were performed in the presence of the nucleobase derivatives 9-ethylguanine (9-EtG) and 9-ethyladenine (9-EtA). Formation of Ru-9-EtG adducts was observed after 3 h irradiation by NMR and HR-MS, while only very small amounts of a Ru-9-EtA adduct could be detected by HR-MS. Solution structural data were obtained by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) for both 1 and 2. EXAFS gave a Ru−Cl distance of 2.416(7) Å for 1 and a Ru−OH2O distance of 2.102(6) Å for 2. DFT and TDDFT were employed to study the photophysical and photochemical properties of 1. Calculations show that dissociative metal-centered states can be related to the light-induced release of a Cl ligand and subsequent coordination of a solvent molecule. The compound showed no antiproliferative activity in three human carcinoma cell lines (lung, bladder, pancreas) under the testing conditions, either with or without irradiation with UV light

白金微粒/Ru錯合物/高分子薄磨修飾電極之製備及其電催化應用
[[abstract]]Membrane-metal modified cells are usually applied to the field of membrane cells, such as fuel cells, light cells… etc. Some hydrogen evolution catalysts, for example Pt metal, are used as the cathodes in these cells. Therefore, in this research, we try to dose a series of Ru complexes into the intervals between the cathode and the thin film electrode to improve the hydrogen evolution efficiency of the membrane-metal modified cells.
Ru complex (chosen from Ru(bpy)2phenNH2, Ru(dmb)2 phenNH2, Ru(tmb)2phenNH2, Ru(bpy)2Cl2, Ru(dmb)2Cl2, Ru(tmb)2Cl2) doped Nafion solution was drop-coated onto glassy carbon (GC) electrode and formed a thin film after drying. Then, the GC electrode was immersed into H2PtCl6 solution, and the Pt/Ru complex/polymer modified electrode was obtained by reducing Pt with a DPTB method. Different amount of Pt was electroplated on the GC electrode even at the same conditions (the same potential, the same time interval) when different consistency or kinds of Ru complexes were used, suggesting the influence of the ligands on the red-ox property of Ru complexes. The effective surface area (estimated by CV method) of Pt in the modified electrode is also varied with different species of Ru complexes, which in turn affect on the efficiency of hydrogen evolution.
Furthermore, from the information obtained by SEM and EDS, the alignment and the density of Pt particles growing on the GC electrode are figured out. From the fluorescence lifetime and luminescence spectra, a good electron-transfer is considered to have occurred between D series Ru complexes and Pt modified electrode that explained why a high hydrogen evolution efficiency has been obtained. The modified electrodes are still stable one month after fabricated and their hydrogen evolution efficiency was as good as a newly prepared one.
