“…[90,58] In principle, a large variety of ligands can be used, creating a versatile platform to engineer supports for anchoring various active complexes. For the CTFtype materials, several N-heterocyclic systems have been synthesized, including (bi)pyridine, [65,40,39,66,82,44,4,68,32] luditine [39] and pyrimidine [39] systems. We recently studied the anchoring of a Ru 2 + , octahedrally chelated by three bidentate polypyridyl ligands, on a biphenyl-based CTF where some of the biphenyl linkers are replaced with polypyridyl ones.…”
