Abstract

Deactivation of the lowest excited triplet state, 3(π, π*), of the Ru(II) porphyrins RuP(CO)(L) is more strongly dependent on temperature than decay of 3(π, π*) in Pt(II)P and H2P (metal-free) complexes containing the same macrocycle P. This and other observations support the proposal that 3(π, π*) in the RuP(CO)(L) complexes decays in part via a metal-to-ring (d, π*) charge-transfer excited state at higher energy.
