The Uses of TRIS(2,2'-BIPYRIDYL)RUTHENIUM(II) CHLORIDE HEXAHYDRATE

Tris(2,2'-bipyridine)dichlororuthenium(II) hexahydrate is a catalyst used in light-induced redox reactions. It is an important catalyst in studies towards photochemical water splitting. This product can be used as a catalyst in pharmaceutical research. It is widely applied in fields of photoelectrical chemical components, photovoltaic cells, smart biosensors.

What are the applications of Application

Tris(2,2′-bipyridine)dichlororuthenium(II) hexahydrate is a catalyst for light-induced redox reactions

General Description

Tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)dichlororuthenium(II) hexahydrate is a metal complex and is used as an luminescent dye. The metal complex in its ground state can be excited by visible light which leads to the formation of a spin-allowed excited state. This excited state undergoes radiationless deactivation very quickly to form spin-forbidden, long-lived luminescent excited state. It is used widely in electroluminescent devices.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it from water, then from MeOH [Ikezawa et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 1589 1986].
