Abstract

Abstract The spectroscopic and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties of dipicolinic acid (DPA), (bpy) 2 Ru 2+ (bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine) and the species formed when DPA and (bpy) 2 Ru 2+ [abbreviated to (bpy) 2 Ru(DPA) + ] are allowed to react are reported. The UV‐Vis absorption maxima for (bpy) 2 Ru 2+ and (bpy) 2 Ru(DPA) + are 493 and 475 nm, respectively, indicating the in situ formation of a complex between DPA and (bpy) 2 Ru 2+ . DPA, (bpy) 2 Ru 2+ and (bpy) 2 Ru(DPA) + display ECL upon oxidation in the presence of the oxidative–reductive co‐reactant tri‐ n ‐propylamine (TPrA). The ECL of (bpy) 2 Ru(DPA) + is at least two‐fold higher than either of the parent species. An ECL spectrum of (bpy) 2 Ru(DPA) + displays a peak maximum 40 nm red‐shifted from the photoluminescence peak maximum, suggesting that the excited state formed electrochemically is different from that formed spectroscopically.
