Intramolecular light induced activation of a Salen–MnIII complex by a ruthenium photosensitizer

Abstract

We have designed a molecular system consisting of a heteroleptic [Ru(bpy)2L]2+ chromophore covalently linked to a MnIIISalen unit. We demonstrate the light induced oxidation of the MnIII center in this putative photo-catalyst assembly to a MnIV high spin intermediate. Both oxidation states have been characterized by transient absorption and EPR techniques.
