“…1 H NMR (400 MHz), 13 C{ 1 H} NMR (101 MHz) and 31 P{ 1 H}-NMR (162 MHz) spectra were measured on a Bruker AvanceIII 400 spectrometer (Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA), and 1 H-NMR (600 MHz) and 13 C{ 1 H} NMR (151 MHz) spectra on a Bruker AvanceIII 600 spectrometer (Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA). {Ru(CO)Cl(P i Pr3)2}2(1,4-(CH=CH)2-C6H4) [8], 3′,5′-dimethyl-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine [22] and 5mercaptoisophthalic acid [24] were prepared according to literature methods. ESI-MS data was acquired on a Bruker micrOTOF II mass spectrometer (Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA) from partially oxidized analyte/CHCl3 solutions employing [Cp2Fe] + PF6 − as the oxidant.…”
