Description

Ruthenium(2+), Tris(4,4'-Diethyl [2,2'-Bipyridine]-4,4'-Dicarboxylate-κn1,κn1')-, (Oc-6-11)-, Hexafluorophosphate(1-) (1:2) CAS NO 75324-94-6 is a high-purity, organometallic coordination complex featuring a ruthenium(II) center ligated by three diethyl bipyridine dicarboxylate ligands, with hexafluorophosphate as the counterion. This compound is a critical photosensitizer and electron transfer agent in advanced photochemical and electrochemical applications. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), artificial photosynthesis systems, and photoredox catalysis.

Application

• Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs/Grätzel Cells): Primary photosensitizer for converting sunlight into electrical energy.
• Photoredox Catalysis: Catalyst for organic synthesis under visible light, enabling novel bond-forming reactions.
• Artificial Photosynthesis: Key component in systems designed to mimic natural photosynthesis for fuel production.
• Electrochromic Devices: Used in smart windows and displays for its reversible color change properties.
• Luminescent Sensors & Probes: Serves as a core for oxygen sensors and biological imaging agents due to its long-lived excited state.
• Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs): Potential use as an emissive material or host in light-emitting layers.
• Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting: Acts as a sensitizer on semiconductor surfaces for hydrogen generation.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Fundamental research in photophysics, electrochemistry, and materials science.

Quality Control

Our high-purity ruthenium complex is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and elemental analysis. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications, ensuring the material meets the stringent requirements for advanced photoelectrochemical research and development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or light may affect performance. Keep the container tightly sealed in a desiccated environment when not in use.
