Abstract

We report the excited state photophysics and photochemistry of [ReCl(CO)₃(dppz-(CH₃)₂)] (dppz-(CH₃)₂ = 11,12-dimethyl-dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine) in CH₃CN using time-resolved infrared (TRIR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Excitation of the¹MLCT (metal-to-ligand charge transfer) band of [ReCl(CO)₃(dppz-(CH₃)₂)] populates a³MLCT excited state which rapidly interconverts on a timescale <1 ns to a long lived IL (intra-ligand) ππ^∗excited state with a lifetime of 190 ( ± 5) ns. In the presence of an electron donor (NEt₃), the IL excited state of [ReCl(CO)₃(dppz-(CH₃)₂)] can be reductively quenched to [ReCl(CO)₃(dppz-(CH₃)₂)]⁻with the radical in the latter localised on the distal phenazine (phz) portion of the dppz ligand. The phz based electron in [ReCl(CO)₃(dppz-(CH₃)₂)]⁻has minimal interaction with the rhenium metal centre which increases the stability of the photosensitiser in its reduced form. In non-dried, non-degassed CH₃CN (1 M NEt₃), [ReCl(CO)₃(dppz-(CH₃)₂)]⁻shows no significant change in the carbonyl region of the IR spectrum for at least 2 h during continuous photolysis. In addition, we investigate the use of [ReCl(CO)₃(dppz-(CH₃)₂)]⁻to reduce the previously studied catalyst [NiFe₂], with facile electron transfer from [ReCl(CO)₃(dppz-(CH₃)₂)]⁻to form [NiFe₂]⁻.
