Three series of ruthenium complexes with the general formula Ru(bpy)n(β-diketonato)3−n (bpy = 2,2’bipyridine, n = 0, 1, 2) were prepared and investigated using cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis spectroscopy. Variation of both the number and electronic demand of the β-diketonato ligands resulted in well-defined modulation of the potential at which oxidation of the metal centre occurred. The observed...

The preparation of hybrid transition metalloproteins by thiol-selective incorporation of organometallic rhodium- and ruthenium complexes is described. Phosphine ligands and two rhodium-diphosphine complexes bearing a carboxylic acid group were coupled to the cysteine of PYP R52G, yielding a metalloenzyme active in the rhodium catalyzed hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate. The successful couplin...

A novel Ru(II) sensitiser A597 containing the 4,4'-dioctylamido-2,2'-bipyridine ancillary ligand is synthesised without the need for purification steps. It shows an irreversible oxidation at 0.92 V in the cyclic voltammogram and an absorbtion at 539 nm in the UV-vis spectrum corresponding to an (1)MLCT transition. Preliminary DFT calculations reveal that the HOMO is localised on the ruthenium m...

The title compound, cis,fac-dichloridotetra-kis(dimethyl sulfoxide)-κ(3)S,κO-ruthenium(II), [RuCl(2)(C(2)H(6)OS)(4)], was obtained from newly synthesized ruthenium complexes of 3-amino-2-chloro-pyridine. The Ru atom has a distorted octa-hedral coordination with two cis-oriented chloride ligands and four dimethyl sulfoxide ligands. Three of the sulfoxide ligands are S-bonded in a fac configurati...

Ž . Ž Three-dimensional multistructure assemblies consisting of gold nanoparticles and a sulfur-containing ruthenium II tris 2,2-bi. pyridine derivative were fabricated on an ITO electrode by their alternate self-assembling. Absorption spectra of the assemblies showed immobilization of the gold surface and the ruthenium complex. Broadening and red shift of the plasmon band were observed by incr...

ABSTRACT: Six new organosoluble ruthenium(II) complexes bearing dibasic tetradentate Schiff base ligands of the general formula [Ru(CO)(PPh3)(L)] (where L = dibasic t...

Fluorescent tracking gene delivery could provide us with a better understanding of the critical steps in the transfection process. However, for in vivo tracking applications, a small diameter (<10 nm) is one of the rigorous requirements for tracking vectors. Herein, we have demonstrated a new paradigm for two-photon tracking gene delivery based on a dendritic nano-sized hexanuclear ruthenium(II...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com efficiencies of >10% for metal free dyes, >11% for metal complex and 13% for porphyrin based sensitizers [1-6]. As sensitizers take part in the absorption of solar radiation and injection of electrons into the conduction band of semiconductors, extensive research has been focused on the design of efficient and durable sensitizers. Several dyes have ...

The mechanism of C-H activation at metathesis-relevant ruthenium(II) benzylidene complexes was studied both experimentally and computationally. Synthesis of a ruthenium dicarboxylate at a low temperature allowed for direct observation of the C-H activation step, independent of the initial anionic ligand-exchange reactions. A first-order reaction supports an intramolecular concerted metalation-d...
