A family of Ru(<scp>ii</scp>) complexes built on a novel sexipyridine building block: synthesis, photophysical properties and the rare structural characterization of a triruthenium species

Abstract

A new tris-2'',4'',6''-(2,2'-bipyridin-4-yl)-1'',3'',5''-triazine ligand and its family of ruthenium coordination complexes are described along with their characterization by electrochemical and photophysical methods as well as a rare single crystal X-ray analysis of a triruthenium polypyridine complex.
