Abstract

Abstract: A comprehensive investigation of photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer (ET) in a series of six complexes of the typefac-(b) Rei (CO) 3-D (where b is a diimine ligand and D is a dimethylaniline electron donor) is reported. Photoexcitation of the dx (Re)- x*(diimine) metal-teligand chargetransfer excited state initiates a sequence of forward and back ET reactions:(b) Rei (CO) 3-D-he (b-) Reii (CO) 3-D-km (b-) Re'(CO),-D+ kser (b) Rei ...
