Diastereoisomers of a heteroleptic ruthenium complex, [Ru(bpy)(2)L](2+) (bp
y = 2, 2'-bipyridine, L = 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-2-pyrazo
line) have been isolated. Two isomers have quite similar redox potentials a
nd show MLCT absorptions in the region of 400 to 500 nm with similar absorp
tion maxima at room temperature. By contrast, quite different emission maxi
ma and lifetimes are observed at 77 K.
