Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of the first heteroleptic pyrrolide/2, 2′-bipyridyl complexes of ruthenium (II) are reported. Pyrroles substituted at the 2-position with X= O functionality react with Ru (bipy) 2Cl2· 2H2O to form complexes in which the pyrrolide ligands chelate to Ru (II). The library of pyrroles includes 2-formyl, 2-keto, 2-carboxylato, 2- sulfinyl, and 2-sulfonyl derivatives.
