The complexes are generally stable under extended photoirradiation, except for {[}Ru(bpy)(2)PT3-P,S](PF6)(2) which decomposes. Emission lifetimes and transient absorption spectra and lifetimes have been obtained for all the complexes. These data support a PT3 ligand based lowest excited state in the case of both P,S bound complexes, and a charge separated lowest excited state in both P,C bound complexes, conclusions supported by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.},
