NAD/NADH-functionalized ligand, benzo[b]pyrido[3,2-f][1,7]-phenanthroline (bpp), was newly synthesized. A Ru
compound containing the bpp ligand, [Ru(bpp)(bpy)2]2+, underwent 2e– and 2H+ reduction,
generating the NADH form of the compound, [Ru(bppHH)(bpy)2]2+, in response to visible light irradiation in CH3CN/TEA/H2O (8/1/1). The UV–vis and fluorescent
spectra of both [Ru(bpp)(bpy)2]2+ and [Ru(bppHH)(bpy)2]2+ resembled the spectra of [Ru(bpy)3]2+. Both complexes exhibited strong emission, with quantum
yields of 0.086 and 0.031, respectively; values that are much higher
than those obtained from the NAD/NADH-functionalized complexes [Ru(pbn)(bpy)2]2+ and [Ru(pbnHH)(bpy)2]2+ (pbn = (2-(2-pyridyl)benzo[b]-1.5-naphthyridine,
pbnHH = hydrogenated form of pbn). The reduction potential of the
bpp ligand in [Ru(bpp)(bpy)2]2+ (−1.28
V vs SCE) is much more negative than that of the pbn ligand in [Ru(pbn)(bpy)2]2+ (−0.74 V), although the oxidation potentials
of bppHH and pbnHH are essentially equal (0.95 V). These results indicate
that the electrochemical oxidation of the dihydropyridine moiety in
the NADH-type ligand was independent of the π system, including
the Ru polypyridyl framework. [Ru(bppHH)(bpy)2]2+ allowed the photoreduction of oxygen, generating H2O2 in 92% yield based on [Ru(bppHH)(bpy)2]2+. H2O2 production took place via singlet oxygen
generated by the energy transfer from excited [Ru(bppHH)(bpy)2]2+ to triplet oxygen.
