Abstract

Ligand-to-metal charge transfer excitation of organorhenium(VII) oxides R-ReO3[R = CH3, C2H5, η1-mesityl, C6H5, η5-C5H5, η5-C5H4(CH3), and η5-C5CCH3)5] in acetonitrile or dichloromethane solution leads to photoredox decomposition. It is shown by EPR spectroscopy that radical pairs R•/•ReO3 are generated in the primary step. The overall efficiency is determined by the reactivity of the radicals R, which decreases in the order CH3 > C2H5 > mesityl > C5H5 > C5H4(CH3) > C5(CH3)5. The regeneration of R-ReO3 is favored with increasing stability of R. Accordingly the quantum yield varies with R.
