Abstract
Ruthenium(II)-polypyridyl complexes of similar size but with variable reduction potential undergo efficient photoinduced electron-transfer r eactions with phenolate ions in aqueous medium. All these reactions ar e exergonic and are in accordance with the Marcus theory of electron t ransfer. At high negative Delta G(o) Marcus inverted region is observe d in this bimolecular photoinduced charge separation reaction.
