A. El-ghayoury et al., Developing osmium(II) tris(2,2 '-bipyridyl) derivatives as reagents for luminogenic assays, CHEM COMMUN, (20), 1999, pp. 2027-2028
The combined effects of an ethynylene substituent and reversible energy tra
nsfer to an appended anthracene unit provide access to luminophoric osmium(
II) tris (2,2'-bipyridyl) derivatives of unusually long triplet lifetime an
d whose improved optical properties might provide new analytical opportunit
ies.
