An amide-linked chromophore-catalyst assembly for water oxidation.
The synthesis and analysis of a new amide-linked, dinuclear [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy-ph-NH-CO-trpy)Ru(bpy)(OH(2))](4+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; bpy-ph-NH-CO-trpy = 4-(2,2':6',2"-terpyridin-4'-yl)-N-[(4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridin-4-yl)methyl]benzamide) assembly that incorporates both a light-harvesting chromophore and a water oxidation catalyst are described. With the saturated methylene linker present, the individual properties of both the chromophore and catalyst are retained including water oxidation catalysis and relatively slow energy transfer from the chromophore excited state to the catalyst.
