Abstract
We investigate the mechanism of energy transfer between ruthenium(II) (Ru) and osmium(II) (Os) polypyridyl complexes affixed to a polyfluorene backbone (PF-RuOs) using a combination of time-resolved emission spectroscopy and coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG MD). Photoexcitation of a Ru chromophore initiates Dexter-style energy hopping along isoenergetic complexes followed by sensitization of a lower-energy Os trap. While we can determine the total energy transfer rate within an ensemble of solvated PF-RuOs from time-dependent Os* emission spectra, heterogeneity of the system and inherent polymer flexibility give rise to highly multiexponential kinetics. We developed a three-part computational kinetic model to supplement our spectroscopic results: (1) CG MD model of PF-RuOs that simulates molecular motions out to 700 ns, (2) energy transfer kinetic simulations in CG MD PF-RuOs that produce time-resolved Ru and Os excited-state populations, and (3) computational experiments that interrogate the mechanisms by which motion aids energy transfer. Good agreement between simulated and experimental emission transients reveals that our kinetic model accurately simulates the molecular motion of PF-RuOs during energy transfer. Simulated results indicate that pendant flexibility allows 81% of the excited state to sensitize an Os trap compared to a 48% occupation when we treat pendants statically. Our computational experiments show how static pendants are only able to engage in local energy transfer. The excited state equilibrates across a domain of complexes proximal to the initial excitation and becomes trapped within that unique, frozen locality. Side-chain flexibility enables pendants to swing in and out of the original domain spreading the excited state out to ±30 pendant complexes away from the initial excitation.

Abstract
We investigated the reactivity of three Ru(ii) precursors -trans,cis,cis-[RuCl2(CO)2(dmso-O)2], cis,fac-[RuCl2(dmso-O)(dmso-S)3], and trans-[RuCl2(dmso-S)4] - towards the diimine linker 2-(2'-pyridyl)pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (cppH) or its parent compound 4-methyl-2-(2'-pyridyl)pyrimidine ligand (mpp), in which a methyl group replaces the carboxylic group on the pyrimidine ring. In principle, both cppH and mpp can originate linkage isomers, depending on how the pyrimidine ring binds to ruthenium through the nitrogen atom ortho (N(o)) or para (N(p)) to the group in position 4. The principal aim of this work was to establish a spectroscopic fingerprint for distinguishing the coordination mode of cppH/mpp also in the absence of an X-ray structural characterization. By virtue of the new complexes described here, together with the others previously reported by us, we successfully recorded {(1)H,(15)N}-HMBC NMR spectra at natural abundance of the (15)N isotope on a consistent number of fully characterized Ru(ii)-cppH/mpp compounds, most of them being stereoisomers and/or linkage isomers. Thus, we found that (15)N NMR chemical shifts unambiguously establish the binding mode of cppH and mpp - either through N(o) or N(p)- and can be conveniently applied also in the absence of the X-ray structure. In fact, coordination of cppH to Ru(ii) induces a marked upfield shift for the resonance of the N atoms directly bound to the metal, with coordination induced shifts (CIS) ranging from ca.-45 to -75 ppm, depending on the complex, whereas the unbound N atom resonates at a frequency similar to that of the free ligand. Similar results were found for the complexes of mpp. This work confirmed our previous finding that cppH has no binding preference, whereas mpp binds exclusively through N(p). Interestingly, the two cppH linkage isomers trans,cis-[RuCl2(CO)2(cppH-κN(p))] (5) and trans,cis-[RuCl2(CO)2(cppH-κN(o))] (6) were easily obtained in pure form by exploiting their different solubility properties.

Abstract
The use of sunlight to make chemical fuels (i.e., solar fuels) is an attractive approach in the quest to develop sustainable energy sources. Using nature as a guide, assemblies for artificial photosynthesis will need to perform multiple functions. They will need to be able to harvest light across a broad region of the solar spectrum, transport excited-state energy to charge-separation sites, and then transport and store redox equivalents for use in the catalytic reactions that produce chemical fuels. This multifunctional behavior will require the assimilation of multiple components into a single macromolecular system. A wide variety of different architectures including porphyrin arrays, peptides, dendrimers, and polymers have been explored, with each design posing unique challenges. Polymer assemblies are attractive due to their relative ease of production and facile synthetic modification. However, their disordered nature gives rise to stochastic dynamics not present in more ordered assemblies. The rational design of assemblies requires a detailed understanding of the energy and electron transfer events that follow light absorption, which can occur on time scales ranging from femtoseconds to hundreds of microseconds, necessitating the use of sophisticated techniques. We have used a combination of time-resolved absorption and emission spectroscopies with observation times that span 9 orders of magnitude to follow the excited-state evolution within polymer-based molecular assemblies. We complement experimental observations with molecular dynamics simulations to develop a microscopic view of these dynamics. This Account provides an overview of our work on polymers decorated with pendant Ru(II) chromophores, both in solution and on surfaces. We have examined site-to-site energy transport among the Ru(II) complexes, and in systems incorporating π-conjugated polymers, we have observed ultrafast formation of a long-lived charge-separated state. When attached to TiO2, these assemblies exhibit multifunctional behavior in which photon absorption is followed by energy transport to the surface and electron injection to produce an oxidized metal complex. The oxidizing equivalent is then transferred to the conjugated polymer, giving rise to a long-lived charge-separated state.

Abstract
In semi-rigid PEG-DMA550 films with added reductive quenchers, electron transfer quenching of the metal-to-ligand charge transfer excited state(s) of [Ru(bpy)3](2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) occurs by both rapid, fixed-site, and slow, diffusional, quenching processes. Stern-Volmer analysis of diffusional quenching reveals diffusion-controlled quenching both in the fluid and film with the latter greatly inhibited by the high viscosity of the medium. The data for fixed-site quenching are consistent with electron tunneling with the expected exponential distance dependence. Based on this analysis long-range electron transfer occurs with a distance attenuation factor β of ∼0.47 Å(-1) with a notable decrease, β = 0.16 Å(-1), when the quencher is incorporated into the PEG backbone. Fixed-site electron transfer quenching varies with driving force. Back electron transfer is complex, as expected for a distribution of fixed sites, and varies with power law kinetics.

Abstract
Higher-energy emissions from the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excited states of a series of polypyridyl Os(II) complexes were observed at the fluid-to-film transition in PEG-DMA550. The higher-energy excited states, caused by a "rigid medium effect" in the film, led to enhanced emission quantum yields and longer excited-state lifetimes. Detailed analyses of spectra and excited-state dynamics by Franck-Condon emission spectral analysis and application of the energy gap law for nonradiative excited-state decay reveal that the rigid medium effect arises from the inability of part of the local medium dielectric environment to respond to the change in charge distribution in the excited state during its lifetime. Enhanced excited-state lifetimes are consistent with qualitative and quantitative predictions of the energy gap law.

Abstract
Soluble graphene nanosheets, prepared by grafting polystyrene-based polymer chains from the surface of reduced graphene oxide (RGO), have been functionalized with pendant Ru(II) polypyridine chromophores. N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) derivatized p-vinylbenzoic acid polymer chains were grown from methyl bromoisobutyrate initiation sites on the surface of RGO by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Deprotection of the resulting NHS polystyrene chains followed by amide coupling with the amine-derivatized Ru(II) polypyridyl complex [Ru(4-CH2NH2-4'-CH3-bpy)(bpy)2](2+) (4-CH2NH2-4'-CH3-bpy = 4-aminomethyl-4'-methyl 2,2'-bipyridine and bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) afforded the covalently linked RGO-metallopolymer. The hybrid graphene-polymer assembly has been fully characterized with clear evidence for covalent attachment of the metallopolymer brushes to the graphene substrate. On the basis of thermal gravimetric analysis, one polymer strand is grafted to the surface of RGO for every hundred graphene carbons. The covalently linked polymer brushes feature controlled chain lengths of ∼30 repeat units with a small polydispersity index (PDI, ∼ 1.2). Photovoltaic cells based on the derivatized polymers and graphene-polymer assemblies were evaluated. The graphene-polymer assembly in the configuration, ITO/PEDOT:PSS/RGO-PSRu/PC60BM/Al, exhibited enhanced photocurrent and power conversion efficiencies (∼5 fold) relative to devices with the configuration, ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PSRu/PC60BM/Al.

Abstract
A ruthenium containing polymer featuring a short carbonyl-amino-methylene linker has been prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The polymer was derived from ATRP of the N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) derivative of p-vinylbenzoic acid, followed by an amide coupling reaction of the NHS-polystyrene with Ru(II) complexes derivatized with aminomethyl groups (i.e., [Ru(bpy)2(CH3-bpy-CH2NH2)](2+) where bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine, and CH3-bpy-CH2NH2 is 4-methyl-4'-aminomethyl-2,2'-bipyridine). The Ru-functionalized polymer structure was confirmed by using nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy, and the results suggest that a high loading ratio of polypyridylruthenium chromophores on the polystyrene backbone was achieved. The photophysical properties of the polymer were characterized in solution and in rigid ethylene glycol glasses. In solution, emission quantum yield and lifetime studies reveal that the polymer's metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states are quenched relative to a model Ru complex chromophore. In rigid media, the MLCT-ground state band gap and lifetime are both increased relative to solution with time-resolved emission measurements revealing fast energy transfer hopping within the polymer. Molecular dynamics studies of the polymer synthesized here as well as similar model systems with various spatial arrangements of the pendant Ru complex chromophores suggest that the carbonyl-amino-methylene linker probed in our target polymer provides shorter Ru-Ru nearest-neighbor distances leading to an increased Ru*-Ru energy hopping rate, compared to those with longer linkers in counterpart polymers.

Abstract
Distance-dependent energy transfer occurs from the Metal-to-Ligand Charge Transfer (MLCT) excited state Ru(bpy)3(2+*) to an anthracene-acrylate derivative (Acr-An) incorporated into the polymer network of a semirigid poly(ethyleneglycol)dimethacrylate monolith. Following excitation, Ru(bpy)3(2+*) to Acr-An triplet energy transfer occurs followed by long-range, Acr-(3)An-Acr-An → Acr-An-Acr-(3)An, energy migration. With methyl viologen dication (MV(2+)) added as a trap, Acr-(3)An + MV(2+) → Acr-An(+) + MV(+) electron transfer results in sensitized electron transfer quenching over a distance of approximately 90 Å.

Abstract
Photophysical properties of the salts [Ru(bpy)(3)](p-Tos)(2), [Ru(dmb)(3)](PF(6))(2), [Ru(vbpy)(3)](PF(6))(2), and [Ru(phen)(3)](p-Tos)(2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, dmb = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, vbpy = 4-methyl-4'-vinyl-2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, and p-Tos = p-toluene sulfonate) in fluid and film polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate containing nine ethylene glycol spacers (PEG-DMA550) are reported. MLCT absorption energies and bandshapes are similar in fluid and film PEG-DMA550 pointing to similar local dielectric environments, presumably dominated by the polar acrylate groups. Emission energies and excited-to-ground state 0-0 energy gaps (E(0)), determined by emission spectral fitting, are blue-shifted, and band-widths-at-half height (Δv(0,1/2)) decreased, due to an expected "rigid medium effect" in PEG-DMA550 film. The extent of loss of medium dipole reorientation in the rigid environment, and the increased emission energies in the film, resulted in enhanced emission quantum yields and excited state lifetimes in accordance with the energy gap law. The "rigid medium effect" in PEG-DMA550 is less pronounced than in films of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) pointing to a more fluid-like local environment presumably arising from the ethylene glycol linker spacers in PEG-DMA550. Comparison of the absorption, emission, emission spectral fitting, and emission lifetime results for [Ru(dmb)(3)](PF(6))(2) and [Ru(vbpy)(3)](PF(6))(2) shows that the vinyl groups of vbpy copolymerize with PEG-DMA550 covalently incorporating Ru(vbpy)(3)(2+) as a cross-linker into the polymer network. The most dramatic effect of the fluid-to-film transition is seen in the emission lifetime data for [Ru(phen)(3)](p-Tos)(2), with an increase of ~3 in the PEG-DMA550 film. Ru(phen)(3)(2+) cations appear to occupy a low symmetry site in the films probably close to the polar acrylate groups in a structurally confined environment.

Abstract
A series of ditopic ligands bearing terpyridyl and polyamine coordination sites have been prepared. Complexes with RuII bound to the terpyridyl sites of many of these ligands have been prepared. RuII complexes of these ligands appear vulnerable to nucleophilic displacement of the polyamine portion of the ligand by BH4
–. A limited study of the coordination chemistry of the polyamine portion of the RuII complexes has been conducted, including the synthesis and characterization of RuII–CoIII heterodinuclear complexes in which the CoIII centre is coordinated by a cyclam macrocycle. The CoIII centre in these systems is unexpectedly labile – it can be removed from the polyamine upon treatment with ethane-1,2-diamine.
