However, in the pyridine-ligated complexes, the through-space distance between the reduced bipyridine and the oxidized chromophore is quite significant (centroid-to-centroid distance of 16.6 Å in Phbpy-Re-PyPhPDI and 14.5 Å in Phbpy-Re-PyPhNDI ), and the electron must either travel through intercalated solvent molecules in that space or through the difficult-to-reduce Re I center in order to return.
