L. Decola et al., DINUCLEAR COMPLEXES OF RU AND OS CONTAINING A RIGID BRIDGING LIGAND -PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND PHOTOINDUCED ENERGY-TRANSFER, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 234, 1993, pp. 115-120
The homo- and hetero-nuclear complexes of Ru(II) and Os(II) containing
a bis(bipyridine) rigid bridging ligand (A) have been prepared. Their
absorption spectra, electrochemical behavior and luminescence propert
ies have been investigated. Luminescence intensity and lifetime measur
ements indicate that in the mixed-metal complex [(bpy)2RuAOs(bpy)2]4efficient energy transfer takes place from the Ru-based component to t
he Os-based one.
