Photosensitized generation of singlet oxygen from vinyl linked benzo-crown-ether-bipyridyl ruthenium(II) complexes

Photophysical properties of 10 substituted methoxybenzene or vinyl linked benzo-crown-ether-2,2′-bipyridyl ruthenium(II) complexes are reported. The lifetimes of the excited triplet metal to ligand charge transfer states, 3MLCT, of the complex ions are in the range 0.85 ± 0.12 μs with two exceptions...
