 | High Enantioselectivity in the Electron Transfer Reaction between a Ru(II) Complex of Menbpy Anion Radical, [Ru(menbpy)3]+ [menbpy = 4,4′-di{(1R,2S,5R)-(−)-menthoxycarbonyl}-2,2′-bipyridine] and [Co(acac)3]: A Pulse Radiolysis Study

One-electron reduction of [Ru(menbpy)3]2+ [menbpy = 4,4′-di{(1R,2S,5R)-(−)-menthoxycarbonyl}-2,2′-bipyridine] by pulse radiolysis produces a Ru(II) complex of a menbpy-centered anion radical, which reduces Δ-[Co(acac)3] more rapidly than Λ-[Co(acac)3] with an enantioselectivity of 2.7 in 85% EtOH/H2O. |
