The facrhenium corner provided three mutually perpendicular coordination sites and served as a good candidate for the construction of 3-D boxes. These are the first Re-based, neutral, luminescent prisms of M 8 L 2 L′ 8 type that has been characterized crystallographically.

The cyclic voltammogram (CV) of the modified GC electrode shows a clear oxidation peak at 1.18 (± 0.02) V, assigned to FeIII/FeIV redox couple. The differential pulse voltammograms (DPV) show a well-defined oxidation peak at 1.32 (± 0.02) V for oxidation of L-Cys, 1.26 (± 0.02) V for L-Met and 1.51 (± 0.02) V for Met-Gly, respectively. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) response of oxidation peak current increases linearly with increase the concentration of L-Cys, L-Met, and Met-Gly in the concentration ranges about 0.4–20 μM with the correlation coefficient value (R2) of 0.99, and the detection limits are found to be 0.3 μM (S/N = 3), 0.2 μM (S/N = 3), and 0.3 μM (S/N = 3), respectively. The present modified electrode exhibits good catalytic activity towards the oxidation of L-Cys, L-Met, and Met-Gly. The electrochemical oxidation of L-Cys, L-Met, and Met-Gly follows the electron transfer mechanism and provides L-cysteine (–S–S–, a disulfide), methionine sulfoxide (MetSO), and sulfone (MetSO2) as the major products. The present modified electrode is successfully applied to the medicinally important real samples and gets good recovery results. The present work reports the stable and selective determination of a). L-Cysteine (L-Cys), b).L-Methionine (L-Met) and Methionine-Glycine (Met-Gly) in phosphate buffer (pH = 7.2) using [oxoiron(IV)-salen] ion immobilized glassy carbon electrode (FeIV/Nf/GC electrode).

On the basis of nanosecond laser flash photolysis studies, an intramolecular electron transfer mechanism from salen-Mn(III) to photooxidized Ru(III) chromophore yielding the catalytically active high-valent salen-Mn(IV) species was proposed. To examine the reactivity of such photogenerated salen-Mn(IV), we employed organic sulfide as substrate. Detection of the formation of a Mn(III)-phenoxyl radical and a sulfur radical cation during the course of reaction using time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy confirms the electron transfer nature of the reaction. This is the first report for the electron transfer reaction of organic sulfide with the photochemically generated salen-Mn(IV) catalytic center.

Research paper thumbnail of Aggregate of Alkoxy-Bridged Re(I)-Rectangles as a Probe for Photoluminescence Quenching

Journal of Physical Chemistry A, Oct 5, 2007

The aggregation of Re(I)-rectangle was followed using a light-scattering technique. Presumably, the enhanced luminescence efficiency resulted from restriction of torsional molecular motion in the aggregates. In addition, the rate of bimolecular quenching of Re(I)aggregates in the triplet excited state by various electron donors (amines) and acceptors (quinones) was efficient. These results indicate that the excited state of aggregated Re(I) surfactants with an electron acceptor and donor facilitate the electron-transfer quenching process after they became preassociated inside the Re(I)aggregated species. These synthesized compounds may be useful fluorescent materials in optoelectronic applications.

Furthermore, we have studied extensively the photochemical reduction of complex I and II , *[Ru(NN)3]2+ in their excited states with various aromatic amines in the absence and presence of oxygen molecules by the luminescence quenching technique. The quenching rate constants, kq for each photoredox reactions have been determined using Stern-Volmer analysis. The results exhibit an interesting trend which depends on the nature of the quencher. In particular, the result proves the efficient interacting mechanism of oxygen with the excited state of *[Ru(NN) 3 ] 2+ .

Research paper thumbnail of Photosensitized energy transfer reactions of tris(4,4'-dialkyl-2,2' -bipyridine )ruthenium(ll) complexes with substituted styrylpyridines

However, in the quenching of *RuL5+ by 4'-nitro-4-styrylpyridine and 4-methyl-4-styrylpyridinium iodide both electron transfer and energy transfer seem to occur.

The rate of photoreduction of [Ru(NN)3]2+ with ArO– is facilitated by the decrease in the polarity of the solvent. On the other hand, addition of SDS entails initial decrease in the quenching constant, kq. The change of kq value with the increase in [SDS] depends on the structure of phenolate ion. With phenolate ions containing alkyl groups, micellar catalysis is observed at high [SDS]. These results on micellar effect are accounted for in terms of pseudo phase ion exchange model.
