Encapsulation of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ luminophore in a unique hydrogen-bonded host framework†
Abstract
The ubiquitous luminophore [Ru(bpy)3]2+ can be sequestered as a guest in an unusual guanidinium organosulfonate host framework architecture that guides the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ into 1D zigzag chains that suggest unique through-space energy transfer characteristics.
