Article: Research from University of Calgary provide new insights into inorganic chemistry.

According to a study from Calgary, Canada, "The effects of replacing a single polypyridyl ligand with an analogous anionic cyclometalating ligand were investigated for a set of three structurally related series of Ru(II) compounds formulated as [Ru(bpy)(2)(L)](z), [Ru(tpy)(L)](z), and [Ru(tpy)(L)Cl](z) where z = 0, +1, or +2, and L = polypyridyl (e.g., bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, tpy = 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine) or cyclometalating ligand (e.g., deprotonated forms of 2-phenylpyridine or 3-(2-pyridinyl)-benzoic acid). Each of the complexes were synthesized and characterized by H-1 NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and/or elemental analyses ...
