Photosensitized production of doubly reduced methylviologen followed by highly efficient methylviologen radical formation using self-assembling ruthenium(II) complexes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supramolecular fibers of Ru(II) complexes act as efficient photosensitizers, photochemically generating methylviologen radical (MV.+) and then converting it quantitatively to doubly reduced methylviologen, (MV0), in the presence of triethanolamine.

Charge-Transfer Complexes Studied by Dynamic Force Spectroscopy
In this paper, the strength and kinetics of two charge-transfer complexes, naphthol-methylviologen and pyrene-methylviologen, are studied using dynamic force spectroscopy. The dissociation rates indicate an enhanced stability of the pyrene-methylviologen complex, which agrees with its higher thermodynamic stability compared to naphthol-methylviologen complex.
متن کاملParaquat-Catalyzed Photodestructions in Subchloroplast Particles are Independent on Photosynthetic Electron Transport
Light dependent ethane formation and chlorophyll bleaching in isolated chloroplast lamellae are enhanced by either methylviologen or a-linolenic acid. Both ethane formation and chloro phyll bleaching are also enhanced in chloroplast particles deficient in photosynthetic electron transport, e. g. after aging, heat treatm ent or digitonin fragmentation. Ethane formation by sub chloroplast parti...
متن کاملEnhanced Photocatalytic Reduction of Methyl Viologen by Self-Assembling Ruthenium(II)Poly(Pyridyl) Complexes with L-Lysine Containing Side Chains
New tris(2,2′-bipyridine)-type ruthenium(II) complexes with L-lysine-containing side chains form gels by hierarchical assembly of hydrogen bonded fibers in some organic solvents. These Ru(II) complex aggregates are more efficient photosensitizers for reduction of methyl viologen than Ru(bpy)3 in the presence of triethanolamine, a sacrificial electron donor. The increased rate of reduced viologe...
متن کاملThe Effect of Activated Oxygen Species on Nitrogenase of Anabaena variabilis
The heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis (ATCC 29413) is deficient in catalase activity, but especially heterocysts are rich in superoxide dismutase and peroxidases. It exhibits a light-dependent methylviologen-catalyzed oxygen uptake which is accompanied by a massive release o f hydrogen peroxide. Methylviologen caused a transient concentrationdependent inhibition o f nitrogen...
متن کاملPhotoproduction and Detoxification of Hydroxyl radicals in Chloroplasts and Leaves and Relation to Photoinactivation of Photosystems I and II
The light-dependent production of hydroxyl radicals (HO*) by thylakoids, chloroplasts and leaves of Spinacia oleracea was investigated using dimethylsulfoxide as HO' trapping agent. Maximum rates of HO' production by thylakoids as indicated by the formation of methane sulfinic acid were observed under aerobic conditions in the absence of added electron acceptors. They were higher than 2 /anol (...
