Abstract

The photosensitized reduction of the series of dialkyl-4,4′-bipyridinium salts, C_nV²⁺, is examined in water-in-oil microemulsions, by using Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ as sensitizer and (NH₄)₃EDTA as electron donor. With the amphiphilic electron acceptors (n = 8-18) the water-in-oil microemulsion media affect the charge separation of the initial encounter cage complex, [Ru(bpy)₂³⁺⋯C_nV⁺·], and stabilize the photoproducts, C_nV⁺· and Ru(bpy)₃³⁺, against the recombination process. Consequently, enhanced quantum yields for C_nV⁺· formation are observed under continuous illumination.
