Laser flash photolysis (337.1 nm) combined with kinetic absorption-emission spectrophotometry was used to study the photoreduction of tris(2,2''-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) by a series of phenols with special emphasis on the effects of solvent, temperature, and ionic strength on electron transfer kinetics and yields. The excited-state quenching rate constants (kq) are in the range 1 .times. 106-5 .times. 109 M-1 s-1 for substituted phenolate ions (at pH 12.7) and correlate well with Hammett .sigma.+ values as well as with oxidation potentials. The plot of RT ln kq'' against .**GRAPHIC**. has a slope of -0.5, kq'' being the quenching rate constant corrected for the initial diffusional process. Arrhenius plots for kq in the cases of p-CH3O-C6H4O-, C6H5O-, and p-COO--C6H4O- as quenchers in aqueous solutions are linear in the temperature range 0.degree.-80.degree. C and give 4.2, 8.1, and 12.8 kcal/mol, respectively, as apparent activation energies. With p-methoxyphenolate ion and p-methoxy-N,N-dimethylaniline as quenchers, kq increases on changing solvent from water to 95% ethanol or 95% acetone (both aqueous); this increase, however, is not monotonous as evident from kq going through a minimum at intermediate solvent compositions. The electron transfer yields (.eta.) are in the range 0.3-1.0 for various phenolate ions in aqueous solutions (at pH 12.7). As observed with p-methoxyphenolate ion and p-methoxy-N,N-dimethylaniline, .eta. exhibits an increasing trend at elevated temperatures, in aqueous solvent systems richer in the nonaqueous component (acetone or ethanol), and at lower ionic strengths. Also reported is the excited-state absorption spectrum (triplet-triplet) of tris(2,2''-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) in aqueous solution in the spectral region 230-800 nm showing small but nonnegligible spectral absorption at longwave lengths (500-800 nm) in addition to a prominent 3-band feature at short wavelengths (240-400 nm).
