Abstract
Cytochrome c(3)-viologen-ruthenium(II) triad complex, Ru-V-cyt.c(3), was pr epared and characterized by using spectroscopic techniques. Effective quenc hing of the photoexcited state of ruthenium complex moiety by the bound vio logen was observed in Ru-V-cyt.c(3). When the system containing Ru-V-cyt.c( 3) and hydrogenase was irradiated by visible light, photoinduced hydrogen e volution was observed, showing the effective two-step electron transfer fro m the photoexcited state of ruthenium complex moiety to cytochrome cs via b ound viologen.
