Remarkable oxidizing ability of triplet excited states of tetrazines produced by photosensitization with Ru(bPY)(3)(2+)

摘要

An efficient energy transfer from Ru(bpy)(3) (2+)* (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, * denotes the excited state) to tetrazines occurs to yield the triplet excited states of tetrazines, which have much longer lifetimes and higher oxidizing ability as compared with those of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)*.
