Synthesis, electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of ruthenium(<scp>ii</scp>) complexes containing 2,6-di(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)aryl ligands

Abstract

Five mono and dinuclear ruthenium complexes containing various symmetrical 2,6-di(1<italic>H</italic>-imidazo[4,5-<italic>f</italic>][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)aryl ligands were synthetized and their physical–chemical properties were studied.
