Photochemistry of tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) in chlorinated solvents
Abstract
The photolysis of tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) in chlorinated solvents at 436 nm and room temperature leads to the formation of cis-dichlorobis-2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) and 2,2′-bipyridine as the main products.
