The synthesis of a new heterobinuclear cobaloxime with 4-(2-ferrocenylvinyl)pyridine, fcvpy, is reported. The complex [CoCl(dmgH) 2 (fcvpy)], where dmgH 2 is dimethylglyoxime and dmgH is dimethylglyoximato, has been characterized by 1 H-NMR, UV-Vis, cyclic voltammetry, and elemental analysis. The cyclic voltammogram of this complex shows a fc/fc + reversible wave at +0.58 V versus Ag/AgCl, one irreversible wave, pc = −0.54 V versus Ag/AgCl, assigned to the reduction of Co(III) to Co(II), and two quasireversible processes at −1.02 V and −1.10 V versus Ag/AgCl associated with the reduction of Co(II). The complex showed ferrocene-ligand charge transfer bands at 334 nm and 505 nm. TDDFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculations support this assignation.
ResumenLa desactivación del estado excitado del complejo [Ru(deeb)(bpy)2](PF6)2 (donde bpy es 2,2'-bipiridina y deeb es 4,4'-(COOEt)22,2'-bipiridina) fue estudiada en disolución de acetonitrilo y también anclado sobre una película delgada de nanocristales de dióxido de titanio. Para desactivar el estado excitado del compuesto de rutenio se emplearon los complejos [Co(py)(Cl)(dmgH)2] y [Co(py)(Bu)(dmgH)2] (donde py es piridina, Bu es n-butilo y dmgH es dimetilglioxamato). Estas cobaloximas pueden desactivar de manera eficiente el estado excitado tanto en disolución como soportado sobre dióxido de titanio. El proceso de desactivación puede ser descrito mediante el modelo Stern-Volmer, cuyo análisis indica que el proceso de desactivación está dominado por procesos de difusión y es coherente con un proceso de transferencia de electrones foto inducido.

To quench the excited state, the cobaloximes [Co(py)(Cl)(dmgH)2] and [Co(py)(Bu)(dmgH)2] where py is pyridine, Bu is n-butyl and dmgH is dimethylglyoximate were used. These cobaloximes are efficient quenchers of the excited state both in fluid solution and when the ruthenium complex is bound to titanium dioxide. The quenching process can be adequately described using the SternVolmer model, which indicates that quenching is dominated by diffusion processes and is coherent with a photo induced electron transfer process.
