Atom Transfer Radical Addition Catalyzed by Ruthenium–Arene Complexes Bearing a Hybrid Phosphine–Diene Ligand
2018
International audience; The synthesis and characterization of a series of arene ruthenium complexes bearing either (3,5-cycloheptadienyl)diphenylphosphine or (cycloheptyl)-diphenylphosphine are reported. Upon irradiation or heating, all these complexes lose their arene ligand but then exhibit a different behavior depending on the nature of the phosphine ligand. (Cycloheptadienyl)phosphine complexes 1 and 3 give a cationic dinuclear Ru complex 5 for which the two Ru atoms are bridged by three chlorido ligands and flanked by two tridendate (cycloheptadienyl)phosphines. (Cycloheptyl)-diphenylphosphine complexes 2 and 4 undergo arene exchange when toluene is used as solvent or degrade in dithlo…
Cobalt Electrolyte/Dye Interactions in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: A Combined Computational and Experimental Study
2012
We report a combined experimental and computational investigation to understand the nature of the interactions between cobalt redox mediators and TiO2 surfaces sensitized by :ruthenium and organic dyes, and their impact on. the performance of the corresponding dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We : focus: on different ruthenium dyes and fully organic dyes, to understand the dramatic loss of efficiency observed for the prototype Ru(II) N719 dye in conjunction with :Cobalt: electrolytes. Both N719- and Z907-based DSSCs showed an increased lifetime in iodine-based electrolyte compared to the cobalt-based redox-shuttle; While the organic D21L6 and D25L6 cycles endowed.With long alkoxy chains,…
