Abstract: The photo-release of acetonitrile is investigated in a series of ruthenium(II) complexes of the general formula [Ru(R-phtpy)(acac)(MeCN)](PF6) (phtpy stands for 4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2"-terpyridine, and R = Et2N, Me2N, MeO, Me, H, NO2). The experimental quantum yields of photo-release (ϕMeCN = MeCN released/photons absorbed) increases with the donating capability of R, with values ranging from ϕMeCN = 0 (NO2) to ϕMeCN = 0.05 (Et2N). The origin of this effect is investigated computationally using the density functional theory and compared to those reported recently by our group on related [Ru(R-phtpy)(acac)(NO)] (PF6) species capable of causing photo-release of NO. In the present case, the capability for MeCN release appears related to the relative energies of the metal-centered (³MC) vs. metal-ligand-chargetransfer (³MLCT) triplet states. The ³MC state, in which the Ru-NC distance is elongated to 4.2 Å, is expected to be responsible for the release. Additionally, four crystal structures are reported for the compounds in which R = Et2N, MeO, H, and NO2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
