E. David et al., BIOMIMETIC MODELS BASED ON RU-POLYPURIDINE-COMPLEXES - ELECTRON-TRANSFER IN SUPRAMOLECULAR ASSEMBLIES, Journal of information recording, 24(3-4), 1998, pp. 277-284
Natural 1, 3 and nonnatural 2, 4 models for the photosynthetic reactio
n center based on RuL2L'- and RuL3- complexes were prepared. Photophys
ical studies with static and time resolved spectroscopy demonstrated a
clear noncovalent interaction between 1-4 and the acceptor BXV4+, bei
ng dominant in the complexes 3 and 4 having two binding sites per bran
ch. The results were supported by NMR experiments.
