Synthesis and photophysical properties of C3-symmetric tris(pyridyl)truxene scaffolds of Ru(ii) and Re(i)†
Abstract
Facial Ru(II)- and Re(I)-complexes of a novel face-capping tris(pyridyl)truxene ligand were synthesised and characterised by various analytical techniques including single crystal XRD. The Ru(II) complex exhibits unusual green phosphorescence with a long excited-state lifetime.
