Article: Studies from University of Calgary further understanding of inorganic chemistry.

According to recent research from Calgary, Canada, "The response of the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) band to variability in terminal substituents within a related set of tridentate polypyridyl and cyclometalated Ru(II) complexes is reported. These complexes are formulated as [Ru(tpy-R-1)(tpy-R-2)](PF6)(2)(1-6; tpy=2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine; R-1=-H, -2-furyl, or -OMe; R-2 = -H, -2-furyl, or -CO2H) and [Ru(tpy-R-2)(dpb-R-1)]PF6(7-10; Hdpb=1,3-di(pyridin-2-yl)benzene; R-2 = -H or -2-furyl; R-1 = -H or -OMe)."

"Absorption spectra for the [Ru(tpy-R-1)(tpy-R-2)](2+) series highlight the sensitivity of the MLCT band to the indicated substituents at the 4' ...
