Spectroscopic analysis demonstrates photoinduced charge transfer between ruthenium trisbipyridine and methyl viologen, highlighting time-resolved resonant Raman spectroscopy for photocatalysis.
We report the first time-resolved resonant Raman (TR3) spectra of photoinduced charge transfer from [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ to methyl viologen, with observations of vibrational structure. The presence of singly charged methyl viologen in solution is noted by the appearance of several spectroscopic lines, which are visible in the spectra following subtraction of reagent molecules. Assignments are confirmed using both density functional theory (DFT) calculations and literature values and are shown to be consistent with transient absorption spectroscopy data. This presents proof-of-concept for the application of TR3 in mechanistic studies of photocatalytic systems.
