Abstract

A series of new heteroleptic Ru (II)(4, 4′-dicarboxylic acid-2, 2′-bipyridine)(bipyridyl donor- antenna ligand)(NCS) 2 complexes carrying different donor-antenna moieties was designed, synthesised and characterised. A general synthetic procedure was used for the covalent attachment of the donor-antenna units 1, 3-di (2-thienyl) benzo [c]-thiophene (DTBT), trans-stilbene (tS) and 4-{2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxy]-ethoxy}-N, N- ...
