Ruthenium nitrosyl complexes with NO release capability: the use of fluorene as an antenna

Abstract

A ruthenium nitrosyl complex of formula [RuII(fluorene(C6)CH2O-terpy)(bipy)(NO)]3+ (AC) in which fluorene(C6) is the 9,9-dihexylfluorene, terpy the 2,2’;6’,2’’-terpyridine, and bipy the 2,2’-bipyridine is presented with its related [RuII(MeO-terpy)(bipy)(NO)]3+ (C) and 9,9-dihexylfluorene...
