Towards multianalyte molecule-based sensors: reactivity and photophysical behaviour of hemilabile ligand-containing Ru(II) bipyridyl complexes
Abstract
The concept of using hemilabile ligand-containing complexes as the basis for multianalyte sensors is introduced: the preparation of two such ruthenium complexes (1 and 2) and their reactivity towards a series of donor molecules is reported; differential photoluminescence and absorption responses are observed.
