The supramolecular of Ruthenium complexes, Ru(bpy)3-viologen-Ru(bpy)3, with one and<br />

two viologen units, containing the CB[7] host (1 and 2) were synthesized and isolated in this<br />

work. The binding behavior of CB[7] to the guest Ruthenium complexes was investigated by<br />

using 1 H-NMR showed that the CB[7] preferable bind to the hydrocarbon linker in acetonitrile<br />

solution. The photophysical properties of the rotaxane 1 and 2 were also studied in<br />

acetonitrile solution resulting that the emission of Ru(bpy)3 unit could be increase in the<br />

presence of CB[7].<br />

Figure 1<br />

The photo-induce viologen radical formation could be monitored by UV-Vis spectrometry<br />

showed that the viologen radical could be formed and the longer live time of viologen radical<br />

could be longer by CB[7] host in non-aqueous solution. The viologen radical formation is more<br />

stabilized by the second viologen unit probably due to the intramolecular viologen radical<br />

dimer formed. These results demonstrate potentially new applications.<br />
