N. Matsumi et al., Facilitated d pi-p pi* transition in a novel organoboron pi-conjugated polymer including a ruthenium-phosphine complex, ORGANOMETAL, 20(12), 2001, pp. 2425-2427
A facilitated d pi -p pi* transition was observed in a boron-ruthenium conj
ugated system prepared by hydroboration polymerization between mesitylboran
e and a ruthenium-phosphine complex containing tetrayne. In the UV-vis abso
rption spectrum of the obtained polymer, the absorption maximum of the MLCT
band (d pi -p pi* transition) was highly bathochromically shifted by 141 n
m relative to that of the tetrayne monomer.
