Tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride is the chloride salt coordination complex with the formula [Ru(bpy) 3]Cl 2.This polypyridine complex is a red crystalline salt obtained as the hexahydrate, although all of the properties of interest are in the cation [Ru(bpy) 3] 2+, which has received much attention because of its distinctive optical properties.
In the "tris(bipy) complexes" three bipyridine molecules coordinate to a metal ion, written as [M(bipy) 3] n+ (M = metal ion; Cr, Fe, Co, Ru, Rh and so on). These complexes have six-coordinated, octahedral structures and exists as enantiomeric pairs: These and other homoleptic tris-2,2′-bipy complexes of many transition metals are
For the common photosensitizer, tris-(2,2’-bipyridyl)ruthenium (abbreviated as [Ru(bipy) 3] 2+ or [Ru(bpy) 3] 2+), the lifetime of the triplet excited state is approximately 1100 ns. This lifetime is sufficient for other relaxation pathways (specifically, electron-transfer pathways) to occur before decay of the catalyst to its ground state.
2,2′-Bipyridine (bipy or bpy, pronounced / ˈ b ɪ p iː /) is an organic compound with the formula (C 5 H 4 N) 2. This colorless solid is an important isomer of the bipyridine family. It is a bidentate chelating ligand, forming complexes with many transition metals. Ruthenium and platinum complexes of bipy exhibit intense luminescence. [1]
A few octahedral homoleptic pyridine complexes are known. These complex cations are found in the salts [Ru(py) 6]Fe 4 (CO) 13 and [Ru(py) 6](BF 4) 2. [3] [4] Some compounds with the stoichiometry M(py) 6 (ClO 4) 2 have been reformulated as [M(py) 4 (ClO 4) 2]. (py) 2 [5] A common family of pyridine complexes are of the type [MCl 2 (py) 4] n+ ...
In the neutral counting method, the Ruthenium of the complex is treated as Ru(0). It has 8 d electrons to contribute to the electron count. The two bpy ligands are L-type ligand neutral ligands, thus contributing two electrons each. The two chloride ligands hallides and thus 1 electron donors, donating 1 electron each to the electron count.

As an approximate rule, electron configurations are given by the Aufbau principle and the Madelung rule. However there are numerous exceptions; for example the lightest exception is chromium, which would be predicted to have the configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 4 4s 2 , written as [Ar] 3d 4 4s 2 , but whose actual configuration given ...
