Design of ruthenium-alkynyl complexes as nonlinear optical chromophores
نویسنده
چکیده
This review paper focuses on the design and non linear optical properties of trans-Ru(dppe)2 (dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) alkynyl complexes and their derivatives. These systems constitute remarkable second and third-order non linear optical active chromophores. Furthermore, modifying the environment around the ruthenium affords the possibility of tuning their non linear optical performances and accessing facile non linear optical switching. The coverage is focused on quadratic (second-order) and cubic (third-order) non linear optical properties measured at molecular level from solution studies as well as on non linear optical properties of bulk materials.

Coordinating Tectons: Bimetallic Complexes from Bipyridyl Terminated Group 8 Alkynyl Complexes
Bipyridyl appended ruthenium alkynyl complexes have been used to prepare a range of binuclear homo-metallic ruthenium and hetero-metallic ruthenium-rhenium complexes. The two metal centers are only weakly coupled, as evinced by IR and UV-vis spectroelectrochemical experiments and supported by quantum chemical calculations. The alkynyl complexes of the type [Ru(C≡Cbpy){Ln}] ({Ln} = {(PPh3)2Cp}, ...

The coordination modes of the [Au(PPh3)](+) cation to metal alkynyl complexes have been investigated. On addition to ruthenium, a vinylidene complex, [Ru(η(5)-C5H5)(PPh3)2([double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh{AuPPh3})](+), is obtained while addition to a gold(iii) compound gives di- and trinuclear gold complexes depending on the conditions employed. In the trinucle...

T metal complexes, and particularly ruthenium polypyridine complexes, can be used as catalysts or photocatalysts capable of performing water oxidation [1] or oxidation of organic compounds.[2,3] They can also be used as chromophores to harvest solar energy due to their absorption in the visible region. Therefore, understanding the nature of the electronic excited states in transition-metal comp...
