- Abstract
Stable charge‐separated states are key features for using light in various types of solar cells and a broad range of photocatalytic applications. So far, molecular systems often suffer from increased charge recombination after initial excitation. Herein, the scope of molecular model systems for intramolecular electron transfer and charge separation by applying copper‐catalyzed click chemistry to covalently functionalize tris‐heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes to yield donor–photosensitizer–acceptor triads with 1,4‐dihydro‐N‐benzyl‐nicotinamide (BNAH) as donor and N‐methyl‐4,4´‐bipyridinium (MQ+) as acceptor is studied. Two triads with electron‐withdrawing or electron‐donating ancillary 2,2´‐bipyridyl ligands are synthesized and their light‐induced intramolecular electron transfer and long‐lived charge‐separated states (τ = 0.8 ms and τ = 1.5 ms) are characterized using steady‐state and time‐resolved spectroscopy and electrochemistry. Additionally, it is found that the charge‐separated state resides on different parts of the molecule within these two triads, allowing for selective directionality of charge transfer within a molecule.
