A luminescent [Pd4Ru8]24+ supramolecular cage12. Issue 47 (25th May 2018) - Rota Martir, Diego
Abstract : A phosphorescent cage of the form [Pd4 Ru8 ] 24+ is reported. Abstract : A phosphorescent cage of the form [Pd4 Ru8 ] 24+ is reported. The cage was formed using the metalloligand [Ru(d t bubpy)2 (qpy)] 2+, where qpy = 4, 4′:2′, 2′′:4′′, 4′′′-quaterpyridine and d t bubpy = 4, 4′-di- tert -butyl-2, 2′-bipyridine. The cage has been characterised by NMR, ESI-MS, TEM and X-ray diffraction analyses and its emission properties elucidated by steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy.
