Diastereomeric geminate pairs of chiral bis(2-oxazoline) ruthenium complexes with bipyridyl-type N-heteroaromatics, Λ- and Δ-[Ru(L-L)(2)(iPr-biox)](2+) (iPr-biox=(4S,4'S)-4,4'-diisopropyl-2,2'-bis(2-oxazoline); L-L=2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy) for 1Λ and 1Δ, 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridyl (dmbpy) for 2Λ and 2Δ, and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) for 3Λ and 3Δ), were separated as BF(4) and PF(6) salts and were subjected to the comparative studies of their stereochemical and photochemical characterization. DFT calculations of 1Λ and 1Δ electronic configurations for the lowest triplet excited state revealed that their MO-149 (HOMO) and MO-150 (lower SOMO) characters are interchanged between them and that the phosphorescence-emissive states are an admixture of a Ru-to-biox charge-transfer state and an intraligand excited state within the iPr-biox. Furthermore, photoluminescence properties of the two Λ,Δ-diastereomeric series are discussed with reference to [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+).

The idea of coordinating biologically active ligand systems to metal centers to exploit their synergistic effects has gained momentum. Therefore, in this report, three Ru complexes - of morpholine-derived thiosemicarbazone ligands have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopy and HRMS along with the structure of through a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The solution stability of - was tested using conventional techniques such as UV-vis and HRMS.

Photoactivatable metal complexes offer the prospect of novel drugs with low side effects and new mechanisms of action to combat resistance to current therapy. We highlight recent progress in the design of platinum, ruthenium, iridium, gold and other transition metal complexes, especially for applications as anticancer and anti-infective agents. In particular, understanding excited state chemistry related to identification of the bioactive species (excited state metallomics/pharmacophores) is important.

Since Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) was created, a versatile and cost-effective alternative among photovoltaic technology options for power generation and energy transition to combat climate change have emerged. The theoretical and experimental knowledge of DSSCs have increased in regard to their operation in the last three decades of development; it includes the device's components, as well as the most recent innovations in their application and forms of activation. In this work paper, we presented a meta-study of photovoltaic characterization parameters, 329 scientific reports of DSSCs were considered to compare three types of sensitizers (Organometallics, non-metal organic dyes and, natural dyes).

By introducing new-to-nature transformations, artificial metalloenzymes hold great potential for expanding the biosynthetic toolbox. The chemistry of an active cofactor in these enzymes is highly dependent on how the holoprotein is assembled, potentially limiting the choice of organometallic complexes amenable to incorporation and ability of the protein structure to influence the metal centre. We have previously reported a method utilising ligand exchange as a means to introduce ruthenium-arene fragments into a four-helix bundle protein.

Binuclear ruthenium complexes have been investigated for potential DNA-targeted therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Studies of DNA threading intercalation, in which DNA base pairs must be broken for intercalation, have revealed means of optimizing a model binuclear ruthenium complex to obtain reversible DNA-ligand assemblies with the desired properties of high affinity and slow kinetics. Here, we used single-molecule force spectroscopy to study a binuclear ruthenium complex with a longer semi-rigid linker relative to the model complex.
