We review the results obtained for (PtCl62-)-Cl-IV, (PtBr62-)-Br-IV, (IrCl62-)-Cl-IV, (IrBr62-)-Br-IV, and (OsBr62-)-Br-IV complexes in aqueous and alcoholic solutions using ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis, ESR, and photoelectron spectroscopy. We discuss the correlations between the photophysics and the photochemistry of these complexes. The key reaction for (PtCl62-)-Cl-IV is the inner-sphere electron transfer, which results in an Adamson radical pair that lives for several picoseconds, and the subsequent photoaquation in aqueous solutions and photoreduction in alcohols. The chlorine atom formed as the primary product escapes the solvent cage in aqueous solutions or oxidizes a solvent alcohol molecule via secondary electron transfer, producing secondary intermediates that react on the microsecond time scale. The photoexcitation of (PtBr62-)-Br-IV results in the formation of pentacoordinated Pt-IV intermediates, i.e. 3Pt(IV)Br(5)(-) and 1Pt(IV)Br(5)(-), with characteristic lifetimes of approximately 1 and 10 Ps, respectively. Subsequent reactions of these intermediates result in the complexation of a solvent molecule. Photoreduction is also possible in alcohols. Similar reactions occur with rather low quantum yields for (IrCl62-)-Cl-IV., therefore, only the ground-state recovery could be monitored in ultrafast experiments, which occur on the 10-ps time scale. The photochemical behaviours of the (IrBr62-)-Br-IV and (OsBr62-)-Br-IV complexes are similar to those of (IrCl62-)-Cl-IV and (PtBr62-)-Br-IV, respectively. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
