Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Six bis‐tridentate and two tris‐bidentate cyclometalated ruthenium complexes with a 1, 2, 3‐triazole‐containing ligand have been prepared and characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray analyses of complexes [(MeOptpy)Ru(Budtab)](PF₆) and [(Mebip)Ru(Budtab)](PF₆) are presented, where MeOptpy is 4′‐<italic>p</italic>‐methoxyphenyl‐2, 2′:6′, 2′′‐terpyridine, Budtab is the 2‐deprotonated form of 1, 3‐di(<italic>N</italic>‐<italic>n</italic>‐butyl‐1, 2, 3‐triazol‐4‐yl)benzene, and Mebip is bis(<italic>N</italic>‐methyl‐benzimidazolyl)pyridine. The electronic properties of these complexes are probed by spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses. Time‐dependent density functional theory calculations have been performed to assist the assignment of the absorption spectra.</p> </abstract>
