|4 Summary|<br />

absorption between 430 nm and 500 nm, but surprisingly with very strong 3 MLCT-emission<br />

between 600 nm and 700 nm and corresponding redox properties. The comparison of the<br />

complexes with the ip-motif allowed conclusions about the orbital nature of the ligand.<br />

8. Using with Ru(bbip)Pd, Ru(bbip)Rh and the reference compounds Ru(bbip)Ag and<br />

Ru(bbip) a number of intramolecular catalysis experiments were performed. The determined<br />

irradiation time and catalyst concentration dependencies of the hydrogen evolution prove<br />

the activity of the palladium and rhodium complexes. Both dinuclear complexes may be<br />

reviewed as tunable molecular photoredoxcatalysts. Interestingly, even the silver complex<br />

showed some activity, whereat the reference Ru(bbip) was inactive. Control experiments with<br />

intermolecular P ∼ B / C-type systems of Ru(bbip) and [Pd(ACN) 2 Cl 2 ] or [Rh(cod) 2 Cl] 2<br />

also showed light-driven hydrogen formation, but gave very different catalysis kinetics, when<br />

compared to the intramolecular systems.<br />

9. A number of dynamic light scattering measurements was performed with the intramolecular<br />

catalysts and the intermolecular control systems to evaluate the influence of the molecular<br />

structure on colloid formation and catalysis. It was demonstrated that Ru(bbip)Pd complexes<br />

act as model compounds for supramolecular photocatalysts, whilst in the case of Ru(bbip)Ag<br />

(photographic process) and Ru(bbip) + [Pd(ACN) 2 Cl 2 ] (Pd-black) formation and growth of<br />

particles was detected and a clear correlation between particle ripening and catalytic activity<br />

was demonstrated.<br />
