Electropolymerisable bipyridine ruthenium(II) complexes: synthesis, spectroscopic and electrochemical characterisation of 4-((2-thienyl)ethenyl)-and 4,4'-di((2-thienyl) ethenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine ruthenium complexes

- Four new ruthenium polypyridyl complexes with mono- or di-((2-thienyl) ethenyl) substituted bipyridines have been synthesized. The complexes were characterized by NMR, elemental analysis, UV-Vis absorption and electrochemistry (differentioal pulse and cyclic voltammetry). Electroactive polymer films of these complexes have been prepared by oxidative electropolymerisation and characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and electrochemistry. The electrochemically induced polymerisation of the complexes resulted in a significant shift of the oxidation potential of the Ru(II)-Ru(III) process towards more positive potentials. Also, MLCT absorption band of the polymeric complexes is shifted towards shorter wavelengths. These results are interpreted in terms of an interrupiton of the conjugated system of the (2-thienyl)ethenyl-substituted bipyridine ligands due to a radical polymerisation mechanism affecting rather the ethenyl part of the ligand than the thienyl.

- A comparison of the properties of the 2-thienyl-substituted carboxyphenyl {RuII(terpy)2} dyes with their non-substituted analogues has enabled us to gain insight into the electronic properties that are prerequisite for efficient electron injection into the TiO2 conduction band in photoelectrochemical solar cells. Introducing the thienyl group has a profound effect upon the efficiency of photoinduced electron injection. This effect can be explained by a significant shift in the LUMO position from the terpy ligand anchored on the TiO2 surface towards the 2-thienyl substituted ligand, which is shown by means of electrochemistry and semiempirical calculations.
