TLDR
The photophysical and electron transfer properties of the lowest excited state of nine ruthenium (polypyridine) complexes have been characterized in this article, where the results show that the Ru (bpy)2(DMCH)2+ complex is expected to be a more efficient mediator than Ru(bpy)-2+3 in the water splitting reaction by solar energy.
Abstract
The photophysical and electron transfer properties of the lowest excited state of nine ruthenium (polypyridine) complexes have been characterized. The complexes studied are Ru (bpy)3-n (LL)2+n, where n varies from 0 to 3, and LL is 4, 4′-di-t-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine (DTB-bpy), 3, 3′-dimethyl-2, 2′-bipyridine (DM-bpy), or a 2, 2′-diquinolyl derivative (DMCH). The results obtained show that the Ru (bpy)2(DMCH)2+ complex is expected to be a more efficient mediator than Ru (bpy)2+3 in the water-splitting reaction by solar energy.

Hydrogen Generation by Visible Light Irradiation of Aqueous Solutions of Metal Complexes. An approach to the photochemical conversion and storage of solar energy

TL;DR: In this paper, a photochemical system for the generation of hydrogen by water reduction under visible light or sunlight irradiation of aqueous solutions containing the following components: a photosensitizer, the Ru (bipy) complex, for visible light absorption; a relay species, the Rh (m) complex which mediates water reduction by intermediate storage of electrons via a reduced state; an electron donor, triethanolamine (TEOA) which provides the electrons for the reduction process and a redox catalyst, colloidal platinum, which facilitates hydrogen formation.
