Aggregation-induced emission of ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complex [Ru(bpy)2(pzta)]2+

A new ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(bpy)2(pzta)]2+ (1) [bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; pzta = 6-(pyrzin2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine] has been synthesized and characterized. This complex exhibits a typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior that it is faint in solution but intense in the aggregate state.

A new ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(bpy)2(pzta)]2+ was found to exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
