Influence of the Linker Chemistry on the Photoinduced Charge-Transfer Dynamics of Hetero-dinuclear Photocatalysts.

ABSTRACT: To optimize light-driven catalytic processes, light-mediated multi-electron transfer dynamics in molecular dyads need to be studied and correlated with structural changes focusing on the catalytically active metastable intermediates. Here, spectro-electrochemistry has been employed to investigate the structure-dependent photoelectron transfer kinetics in catalytically active intermediates of two Ru-Rh catalysts for light-driven NAD⁺ reduction. The excited-state reactivity of short-lived intermediates was studied along different photoreaction pathways by resonance Raman and time-resolved transient absorption spectro-electrochemistry with sub-picosecond time resolution under operando conditions. The results demonstrate, for the first time, how the bridging ligand serves as a (mult
