Photochemistry of [Ru(pytz)(btz)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> and Characterization of a κ<sup>1</sup>‑btz Ligand-Loss Intermediate
We
report the synthesis, characterization, and photochemical reactivity
of the triazole-containing complex [RuÂ(pytz)Â(btz)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> (<b>1</b>, pytz = 1-benzyl-4-(pyrid-2-yl)-1,2,3-triazole,
btz = 1,1′-dibenzyl-4,4′-bi-1,2,3-triazolyl). The UV–vis
absorption spectrum of <b>1</b> exhibits pytz- and btz-centered <sup>1</sup>MLCT bands at 365 and 300 nm, respectively. Upon photoexcitation,
acetonitrile solutions of <b>1</b> undergo conversion to the
ligand-loss intermediate, <i>trans</i>-[RuÂ(pytz)Â(κ<sup>2</sup>-btz)Â(κ<sup>1</sup>-btz)Â(NCMe)]<sup>2+</sup> (<b>2</b>, Φ<sub>363</sub> = 0.013) and ultimately to the ligand-loss
product <i>trans</i>-[RuÂ(pytz)Â(btz)Â(NCMe)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> (<b>3</b>), both of which are observed and characterized
by <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopy. Time-dependent density functional
theory calculations reveal that the S<sub>1</sub> state of the complex
has primarily HOMO → LUMO pytz-based <sup>1</sup>MLCT character.
Data show that the <sup>3</sup>MLCT and <sup>3</sup>MC states are
in close energetic proximity (≤0.11 eV to 2 d.p.) and that
the T<sub>1</sub> state from a single-point triplet state calculation
at the S<sub>0</sub> geometry suggests <sup>3</sup>MC character. Optimization
of the T<sub>1</sub> state of the complex starting from the ground
state geometry leads to elongation of the two Ru–NÂ(btz) bonds <i>cis</i> to the pytz ligand to 2.539 and 2.544 Ã… leading
to a pseudo-4-coordinate <sup>3</sup>MC state rather than the <sup>3</sup>MLCT state. The work therefore provides additional insights
into the photophysical and photochemical properties of ruthenium triazole-containing
complexes and their excited state dynamics
The risks of using ChatGPT to obtain common safety-related information and advice
ChatGPT is a highly advanced AI language model that has gained widespread popularity. It is trained to understand and generate human language and is used in various applications, including automated customer service, chatbots, and content generation. While it has the potential to offer many benefits, there are also concerns about its potential for misuse, particularly in relation to providing inappropriate or harmful safety-related information. To explore ChatGPT's (specifically version 3.5) capabilities in providing safety-related advice, a multidisciplinary consortium of experts was formed to analyse nine cases across different safety domains: using mobile phones while driving, supervising children around water, crowd management guidelines, precautions to prevent falls in older people, air pollution when exercising, intervening when a colleague is distressed, managing job demands to prevent burnout, protecting personal data in fitness apps, and fatigue when operating heavy machinery. The experts concluded that there is potential for significant risks when using ChatGPT as a source of information and advice for safety-related issues. ChatGPT provided incorrect or potentially harmful statements and emphasised individual responsibility, potentially leading to ecological fallacy. The study highlights the need for caution when using ChatGPT for safety-related information and expert verification, as well as the need for ethical considerations and safeguards to ensure users understand the limitations and receive appropriate advice, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The results of this investigation serve as a reminder that while AI technology continues to advance, caution must be exercised to ensure that its applications do not pose a threat to public safety.</p
