By leveraging recent advances in high-energy-resolution tender X-ray spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, novel insights into the chemical bonding of a series of Ru(ii)- and Ru(iii)-complexes are revealed. The experimental Ru 2p4d resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) and theoretical calculations accurately assign spectral features and quantify metal-ligand bonding interactions. This combined experimental and theoretical approach reliably characterizes the ground and excited valence states of Ru complexes, serving as a basis for future investigations in biological and chemical applications of ruthenium or other 4d metals.
Ru-complexes are widely studied because of their use in biological applications and photoconversion technologies. We reveal novel insights into the chemical bonding of a series of Ru(ii)- and Ru(iii)-complexes by leveraging recent advances in high-energy-resolution tender X-ray spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. We perform Ru 2p4d resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) to probe the valence excitations in dilute solvated Ru-complexes. Combining these experiments with a newly developed theoretical approach based on time-dependent density functional theory, we assign the spectral features and quantify the metal-ligand bonding interactions. The valence-to-core RIXS features uniquely identify the metal-centered and charge transfer states and allow extracting the ligand-field splitting for all the complexes. The combined experimental and theoretical approach described here is shown to reliably characterize the ground and excited valence states of Ru complexes, and serve as a basis for future investigations of ruthenium, or other 4d metals active sites, in biological and chemical applications.
