Ay. Ershov et al., Chemistry of electronically excited ruthenium polypyridine complexes: I. Synthesis and electronic structure of [Ru(2,2 '-bpy)(2)(4,4 '-bipy)(NH3)](2+), RUSS J G CH, 70(6), 2000, pp. 846-850
In the course of studies of bis(bipyridine) complexes cis-[Ru(bpy)(2)XY](q), a new compound, cis-[Ru(2,2'-bpy)(2)(4,4'-bipy)(NH3)](BF4)(2), was prepa
red, and its electronic absorption spectrum was studied. The energies and i
ntensities of the spectral transitions in the complex [Ru(bpy)(2)(bipy)(NH3
)](2+) were calculated by the previously developed quantum-chemical procedu
re; the electronic structure of the ground and excited states was described
.
