Molecular machines and motors: how can they be set in motion? Various types of signal or driving force have been used or can be considered: Electrochemical (consumption of electricity) Chemical (a reagent is consumed) Photoredox (light and a reagent are consumed) Photonic (light is the only source of energy)
1MLCT excited state the Ru(bipy)32+family: 3d-d* state 3MLCT dissociative state from the 3MLCT excited state, the strongly antibonding 3d-d state can be populated thermally, depending on the ligand field. This process may be followed byligand expulsion ground state
photochemical expulsion of a Ru(phen)2 fragment from a ring yellow red complex the photochemical process and the thermal reaction are both quantitative
Can one inscribe a Ru(phen)2 fragment in a rod (axial fragment) or in a ring, in order to make a rotaxane or a catenane?

63-membered ring 50-membered ring two different catenanes have been prepared : 1 is the "small" member of the family and 2 is the "large" one In both compouds, the bipy-incorporating ring is a 42-membered ring
light-driven molecular motions : photochemical decoordination of the 42-membered ring the recomplexation reaction is performed thermally (a few minutes at 140°C or two hours at 80°C in ethylene glycol) both processes are quantitative

Photochemical and thermal ligand exchange in a ruthenium (II) complex based on a scorpionate terpyridine ligand • Emma R. Schofield, Jean-Paul Collin
synthesis of the ligand: (i) LDA, dmtpy, Br(CH2CH2O)2THP, thf (ii) HCl(aq) (iii) NEt3, MsCl, DCM, (iv) LiBr, acetone (v) NaH, 4-hydroxybenzonitrile, dmf.
1H NMR spectra (400 MHz) of [1][PF6]2 in pyridine-d5 (9.0-10.5 ppm range) under light irradiation : a : t = 0, b : t = 1, c : t = 2, d : t = 3.5, e : t = 6.5, f : t = 12.5, g : t = 25 mins. Hp2 appears as a doublet at 10.36 ppm in [1]2+ whereas it is strongly shifted upfield in Ru(tpy)(phen)(py)2+, as a result of substitution of the nitrile ligand by pyridine ( = 9.40 ppm)
