Abstract
The decay parameters of Ru(phen)(3)(2+) and *Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) as a func tion of temperature in H2O, CH3CN, and their mixtures are quite simila r, and the reorganization energies for their electron-transfer quenchi ng, whether reductive or oxidative, are virtually identical. The natur e of the localization of the electron in the excited stares seems to h ave no significant effect on the observed photophysics and electron-tr ansfer quenching in fluid solution at or near room temperature.
