Synthesis, photophysical, electrochemical, and ion-binding properties of Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes containing benzo-15-crown-5

Synthesis, characterisation and ion-binding properties of oxathiacrown ethers appended to [Ru(bpy)2]2+. Selectivity towards Hg2+, Cd2+and Pb2+

“…These bands which are typical of [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ moieties may be assigned to the MLCT [d(p Ru )-p*(phen/bpy)] transitions. 26 A red shi of ca. 5-15 cm À1 is observed in the p-p* intra-ligand transitions in the complexes compared to the ligands.…”

Multiple molecular logic gate arrays in one system of (2-(2′-pyridyl)imidazole)Ru(ii) complexes and trimeric cyclophanes in water

“…those for atomic counterparts. 27 In the case of polypyridineRu(II) lumophores, [28][29][30] those responding to H + , [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] Na + , [41][42][43] Cl À , 44,45 Ni 2+ , [46][47][48] and even electrons 49,50 outnumber those switching with glucose, 51 H 2 PO 4 À , 52 MoO 4 À . 53 Cases involving O 2 -induced quenching 54,55 have not been included in this group because no denable receptor exists.…”
