Four ditopic bridging ligands, containing 2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine and 2,6‐dipyrazinylpyridine (dpp) metal‐binding units attached through p ‐ or m ‐phenylene linkages, have been incorporated into eight mono‐, di‐ and trinuclear linear Ru II complexes. These were characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry, and by their ability to undergo light‐induced electron transfers to methylviologen. The dpp‐bearing complexes were more difficult to prepare but were superior sensitizers, a fact attributable to longer excited state lifetimes and an electrostatically favored reductive quenching pathway.
