Abstract: The ground-structures of [Ru(Htcterpy)X3]3-[X=NCS(1), CN(2), Cl(3), tcterpy=4,4',4"-tricarboxy-2,2:6',2"-terpyridine,] are optimized by DFT method(B3LYP). The calculated geometry parameters are in agreement with the experimental values. Absorption spectra in gas phase and in solutions(ethanol and water) are predicted at the TD-DFT/B3LYP level. The solvent effects are seriously considered by using the conductor-like polarizable continuum model(CPCM). For complexes 1—3, in gas phase and solution, the low-energy absorptions have a mixed MLCT/LLCT character, whereas the high-energy absorption are attributed to the intra-ligand π→π* charge transfer transitions. Our calculations reveal the blue-shift of the absorption spectra in solution with respect to those in gas phase, agreeing with experimental observations.
