“…In recent years, metallodendritic chemistry − has emerged as one of the most interesting topics within suprasupermolecular chemistry − due to the inherent novel physical properties. This has facilitated studies in sensor arrays, optical, redox, electrochemical, − and photochemical characteristics ,− as well as biological diagnostic , and catalytic attributes. − Such metallodendrimers generally incorporate metal ions into their infrastructure via use as cores, branching centers, arm connectors, and termini or by metal incorporation at specific loci within the preassembled dendritic framework. In our previous work, − the bis(2,2‘;6‘,2‘ ‘-terpyridine)ruthenium(II) complex (i.e., [−<Ru>−]) has been employed as a building block connector and has afforded entrance to numerous metallodendritic assemblies, all utilizing external counterions, such as Cl - , BF 4 - , and PF 6 - .…”
