A novel and powerful
approach for the synthesis of heterometallic complexes containing
RuII and OsII is described.
Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between
[(bpy)2M1(L1)]2+ and
[(bpy)2M2(L2)]2+ (where L1
and L2 are bromo- and ethynyl-functionalized 1,10-phenanthroline
ligands) provide heteronuclear complexes in a single synthetic
step.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
