The photoinduced long-lived charge-separated state of Ru(bpy)3-methylviologen with cucurbit[8]uril in aqueous solution.
A stable 1 : 1 inclusion complex of Ru(bpy)(3)-MV(2+) with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) is formed in aqueous solution; upon light irradiation, a long lived (tau approximately 2 micros) charge-separated state Ru(3+)-MV(+ )-CB[8] is observed.
