Abstract

Aqueous solutions containing [Ir((C3,N′-Hbpy)(bpy)2)]3+ were studied at room temperature by steady and pulsed laser techniques in the presence of electron acceptors. The acceptors used were S2O82- ions, methylviologen (as nitrate), [Co(NH3)5F]2+, and Fe3+ (as perchlorate). The first three produce [Ir((C3,N′-Hbpy)(bpy)2)]4+ while the last produces a complex. The quenching and product decay rate constants, as well as the observed spectra, are reported. The [Ir((C3,N′-Hbpy)(bpy)2)]4+ complex, reported here for the first time, is capable of oxidizing Cl- to Cl2-. In the absence of additives other than [Co(NH3)5F]2+ it is stable at pH <1.5 for at least 2 h. The site of oxidation, whether it is the Ir metal or a ligand, is not known.
