Three tris-bidentate cyclometalated ruthenium complexes with a di (p-anisyl) amino [5 (PF6)], di (p-tolyl) amino [6 (PF6)], or di (p-chlorophenyl) amino [7 (PF6)] substituent on the cyclometalating phenyl ring have been prepared, where the amine nitrogen is in the meta position to the cyclometalated site (bridged through the phen-1, 3-diyl unit). The structure of 6 (PF6) has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Two consecutive ...
