Abstract
Novel ruthenium(II) complexes of 1,2-bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-6-yl)ethane (o -bpy) possessing metal-to-ligand charge transfer excited states based on trans-disposed accepters are reported. The structures of [trans-Ru( o-bpy)(CH3CN)Cl]PF6.0.5CH(3)CN (shown) and [trans-Ru(o-bpy)(CH3CN)(2)] (PF6)(2) have been determined. [trans-Ru(o-bpy)(CN)(2)] exhibits room temperature, fluid solution emission at 657 nm in CH2Cl2. These comple xes can serve as synthons for new trans MLCT excited states.
