The spectroscopic characterisation of a series of [Ru(LL)(CN)_4]^2− complexes, where LL = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and its methyl- and phenyl-substituted derivatives and several deuteriated isotopologues are reported. The optical and vibrational properties of these complexes are compared with that of the series of 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) derivatives and analogous [Ru(LL)_3]^2+ complexes. It has been demonstrated that substitution at the 4,4′ positions of bipy and 4,7-positions of phen by electron donating (CH_3) and withdrawing (C_6H_5, COO^−) groups induces a pronounced blue and red shift, respectively, in the lowest energy ^1MLCT absorption band of [Ru(LL)(CN)_4]^2−. The energy of the emission originating from the ^3MLCT excited state is found to be dependant on the nature of the vibrational modes of the aromatic rings and the electron donating and/or withdrawing properties of the substituents. Single-mode Franck-Condon analysis indicates that methyl substitution leads to a significant increase in the Huang-Rhys factor ( S _M), while phenyl substitution results in a decrease in S _M for both series (bipy and phen) of complexes. The rate of non-radiative ( k _nr) and radiative decay ( k _ph) to the ground state and the parameters of thermally activated deactivation pathways ( A _4th, Δ E _4th and A _dd, Δ E _dd) were estimated from the temperature dependence of luminescence quantum yields and lifetimes. It has been demonstrated that the non-radiative decay rate and the temperature dependent decay processes are more efficient for bipy complexes than for phen derivatives due to the rigidity of the latter ligand.
