In relation to photocatalysis, this would make the PC +• a stronger ground-state oxidant (Figure ). Thus, in more polar solvents, only [Ru(bpy)3] 3+ is predicted to be a stronger ground-state oxidant, while the other seven PC +• are predicted to be weaker oxidants, with their oxidizing capacity increasing with decreasing solvent polarity. This computed trend for the PCs By contrast, the calculated EAs showed less variation with solvent than the IPs (Table ),
