Abstract

Ruthenium(III)-polypyridyl complexes, generated from the photochemical oxidation of Ru(II) complexes with molecular oxygen, undergo facile electron transfer reaction with dialkyl and aryl methyl sulfides. The rate controlling electron transfer process is confirmed from the absorption spectrum of the transient sulfide radical cation. The spectrophotometric kinetic study shows that the reaction is of total second order, first order in Ru(III) complex and in the organic sulfide. The reaction rate is susceptible to the change of ligand in [Ru(NN)3]3+ and the structure of organic sulfide.
