Synthesis, characterization, photoluminescence and optical properties of heterobimetallic Cu/Ru hybrid complexes composed of coordination and organometallic sites

Cu(I) hybrid inorganic–organic materials with intriguing stimuli responsive and optoelectronic properties

“…Chavan et al synthetized a series of heterobimetallic complexes of the type [Cu(L 1-3 )(NC 5 H 4 C≡CRu(dppe) 2 Cl)I], 142a -142c, and [Cu(L 1-3 )(NC 5 H 4 C≡CC 6 H 4 C≡CRu(dppe) 2 Cl)I], 142d -142f, by reaction of trans-[RuCl(dppe) 2 (C≡C-py-3)] and trans-[RuCl(dppe) 2 (C≡CC 6 H 4 C≡C-py-3)] with CuI in the presence of Schiff base ligands L 1-3 (where L 1 = N-(2-pyridylmethylene)phenylamine, L 2 = 4-bromo-N-(pyridylmethylene) phenylamine and L 3 = 4-nitro-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)phenylamine)[174].…”
