Self-assembled supramolecular cages containing ruthenium(ii) polypyridyl complexes†
Abstract
Substitution-inert, redox- and photo-active ruthenium(II) complexes based on 2,2′,6′,2′′-terpyridine ligands were self-assembled into discrete supramolecular cages via coordination to palladium(II) centres and characterised by NMR, ESI-MS and X-ray crystallography.
