Redox and spectral properties of the four-electron oxidant trans-aquadioxo(terpyridine)ruthenium(2+) diperchlorate

Abstract: The complex trans-[Ru(tpy)(O) 2 (H 2 O)](CIO 4 ) 2 (1) (tpy is 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) has been prepared and characterized by UV-visible, FTIR, resonance Raman, and 1 H NMR spectroscopies and earlier by X-ray crystallography. Its redox properties were investigated by electrochemical techniques over the pH range 0-9 in water. The couples Ru(VI/IV), Ru(IV/III), and Ru(III/II) appear and are pH dependent.

Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer

Abstract: ▪ Abstract Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is an important mechanism for charge transfer in a wide variety of systems including biology- and materials-oriented venues. We review several are...

Density functional theory for transition metals and transition metal chemistry

Abstract: We introduce density functional theory and review recent progress in its application to transition metal chemistry. Topics covered include local, meta, hybrid, hybrid meta, and range-separated functionals, band theory, software, validation tests, and applications to spin states, magnetic exchange coupling, spectra, structure, reactivity, and catalysis, including molecules, clusters, nanoparticles, surfaces, and solids.
