- The first ruthenium - diiron complex [(mu- pdt) Fe-2(CO)(5){PPh2(C(6)H(4)CCbpy)} Ru(bpy)(2)](2+) 1 (pdt = propyldithiolate, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) is described in which the photoactive ruthenium trisbipyridyl unit is linked to a model of the iron hydrogenase active site by a ligand directly attached to one of the iron centers. Electrochemical and photophysical studies show that the light-induced MLCT excited state of the title complex is localized towards the potential diiron acceptor unit. However, the relatively mild potential required for the reduction of the acetylenic bipyridine together with the easily oxidized diiron portion leads to a reductive quenching of the excited state, instead. This process results in a transiently oxidized diiron unit which may explain the surprisingly high light sensitivity of complex 1.

- The paper describes recent advances towards the construction of functional rr mics of the oxygen evolving complex in photosystem II (PSII) that are coupled to photoinduced charge separation. Some key principles of PSII and artificial systems for light-induced charge accumulation are discussed. Systems are described where biomimetic electron donors - manganese complexes and tyrosine - have been linked to a Ru(II)-polypyridine photosensitiser. Oxidation of the donors by intramolecular electron transfer from the photo-oxidised Ru(III) complex has been studied using optical flash photolysis and EPR experiments. A step-wise electron transfer Mn-2(III,III) --> tyrosine --> Ru(III) has been demonstrated, in analogy to the reaction on the donor side of PSII Electron transfer from the tyrosine to Ru(III) was coupled to tyrosine deprotonation. This resulted in a large reorganisation energy and thus a slow reaction rate, unless the tyrosine was hydrogen bonded or already deprotonated. A comparison with analogous reactions in PSH is made. Finally, light-induced oxidation of a manganese dimer linked to a Ru(II)-photosensitiser has been observed. Preliminary results suggest the possibility of photo-oxidising manganese dimers in several steps, which is an important advancement towards water oxidation.

- Transmembrane electron transfer in lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) vesicles was studied by pulse radiolysis. Upon reduction, cetylmethylviologen (N-hexadecyl-N'-methyl-4,4'-bipyridinium CMV), cetylbipyridine (4-(N-hexadecylpyridinium-4-yl)pyridine, CB), and cetylnicotinamide (N-hexadecyl-3-(aminocarbonyl)pyridinium, CNA) transferred electrons from the bulk water phase to Fe(CN)63- in the internal water phase of the vesicles. The transmembrane electron transfer was found in all cases to proceed through diffusion of uncharged forms of the redox mediators (CMV0, CB0, and CNA0, respectively) but the kinetic behavior varied considerably. The mechanisms for CB and CNA were simple, the reaction following first-order kinetics, and the transmembrane diffusion was rate limiting (k = (1.5 +/- 0.3) x 10(3) S-1 for CB and k = 3.2 +/- 0.5 s-1 for CNA). The mechanism for CMV was more complicated, and the reaction followed second-order kinetics. The rate-determining step was proposed to be the disproportionation of two viologen radicals formed by the radiation pulse (2CMV+ double-line arrow pointing left and right CMV0 + CMV2+), followed by rapid transmembrane diffusion of CMVO and its subsequent reoxidation by Fe(CN)63-. In pulse radiolysis, and in phosphorescence quenching experiments with Pt2(P2O5)4H84-, CB0 and CB+ were used as models in order to obtain the rates of transmembrane diffusion of CMV0 and CMV+, respectively. Our results exclude the possibility of electron tunneling between viologens on opposite sides of the membrane, and they provide strong arguments against transmembrane diffusion of viologen radical (CMV+).
