| Abstract | Addition of 2 equiv of Ce(4+) to the dimeric ruthenium mu-oxo ion cis,cis-[(bpy)(2)Ru(OH(2))](2)O(4+) (formal oxidation state III-III, subsequently denoted [3,3]) or addition of 1 equiv of Ce(4+) to the corresponding [3,4] ion gave near-quantitative conversion to the [4,4] ion, confirming our recent assignment of this oxidation state as an accumulating intermediate during water oxidation by the cis,cis-[(bpy)(2)Ru(O)](2)O(4+) ([5,5]) ion. The rates of water exchange at the cis-aqua positions in the [3,3] and [3,4] ions were investigated by incubating H(2)(18)O-enriched samples in normal water for predetermined times, then oxidizing them to the [5,5] state and measuring by resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy changes in the magnitudes of the O-isotope sensitive bands at 780 and 818 cm(-1). These bands have been assigned to Ru=(18)O and Ru=(16)O stretching modes, respectively, for ruthenyl bonds formed by deprotonation of the aqua ligands upon oxidation to the [5,5] state. An intermediate accumulated during the course of the isotope exchange reaction that gave a [5,5] ion possessing both approximately 782 and approximately 812 cm(-1) bands; this spectrum was assigned to the mixed-isotope species, (bpy)(2)Ru((16)O)(16)ORu((18)O)(bpy)(2)(4+). Kinetic analysis of solutions at various levels of oxidation indicated that only the [3,3] ion underwent substitution; the exchange rate constant obtained in 0.5 M trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, 23 degrees C, was 7 x 10(-3) s(-1), which is (10(3)-10(5))-fold larger than rate constants measured for anation of monomeric (bpy)(2)Ru(III)X(H(2)O)(3+) ions bearing simple sigma-donor ligands (X). |
