Proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) from tyrosine covalently linked to Ru(bPY)(3)(2+) has been studied with laser flash-quench techniques. Two new complexes with internal hydrogen bonding bases to the phenolic proton have been synthesized. Depending on the hydrogen bonding and protonation situation the rate constant of PCET spanned over 5 orders of magnitude and revealed a systematic dependence on pH. This resulted in a previously predicted rate ladder scheme: (i) pH dependent concerted electron-proton transfer (CEP) with deprotonation to bulk water, giving low PCET rates, (ii) pH independent CEP with deprotonation to the internal base, giving intermediate PCET rates, and (iii) pure electron transfer from tyrosinate, giving high rates. This behavior is reminiscent of Y(z) oxidation in Mn-depleted and native photosystem II. The study also revealed important differences in rates between phenols with strong and weak hydrogen bonds, and for the latter a hydrogen bond-gated PCET was observed.
