A highly sensitive Ru(ii) complex-based phosphorescent probe for thiophenol detection with aggregation-induced emission characteristics

Abstract

A novel AIEE-active Ru(ii) based phosphorescent probe was designed for the detection of thiophenol in aqueous solution and on test paper.

Energy transfer in metal-exchange binuclear complexes covalently linked by asymmetric ligands

“…The quantum yields of complexes with fluorescence were calculated according to eqn (1), as previously reported by Demas and Crosby. 51 The C1 and C2 complexes showed a strong Ru-based luminescence band at around 610 nm. In the case of the homometallic C3 and C4 and heterometallic complexes C5 , C6 , C9 and C10 , the emission intensity of the Ru-based unit significantly decreased.…”
