Ruthenium(II) dichloride complexes of two chiral tetradentate aminosulfoxide ligands, varying only in the N-N linker, were synthesized. With each ligand, two major isomers formed, and these were structurally assigned and characterized through a combination of NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies, X-ray crystallography, and density functional theory calculations. The cis-β geometric isomer was formed by each ligand, whereas the trans and cis-α geometric isomers were significant components for one ligand only. Cyclic voltammetry studies show that only the cis-β isomers undergo linkage isomerism upon oxidation to ruthenium(III), whereas the trans and cis-α isomers show simple reversible redox couples.

Ru-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) coordination polymers are widely employed for bioanalysis and medical diagnosis. However, commonly used Ru-based coordination polymers face the limitation of low efficiency due to the long distance between the ECL reagent and the coreactant dispersed in detecting solution. Herein, we report a dual-ligand self-enhanced ECL coordination polymer, composed of tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) dichloride (Ru(dcbpy)) as ECL reactant ligand and ethylenediamine (EDA) as corresponding coreactant ligand into Zn metal node, termed Zn-Ru-EDA.

Herein, a competitive-type electrochemiluminescence immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was fabricated. Ruthenium(II)-metal-organic framework (Ru-MOF) nanosheets were selected to act a promising ECL luminophore using tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) dichloride (Ru(dcbpy)) as the organic ligand. The two-dimensional (2D) Ru-MOF nanosheets achieved an increased loading of Ru(dcbpy) and effectively prevented leakage of the ECL emitter during application, which exhibited satisfactory ECL performance.

In this study, a neoteric self-enhanced nanocomposite boron carbon nitride nanosheets (BCN NSs)-Ru obtained by chemical crosslinking between boron carbon nitride nanosheets (BCN NSs) and tris (4,4'-dicarboxylicacid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) dichloride (Ru(dcbpy)Cl) was used as an emitter to build an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of the cancer marker human thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) mRNA. Importantly, the self-enhanced BCN NSs-Ru could exhibit strong ECL emission because boron radicals and amine groups derived from BCN NSs could significantly enhance the ECL response of Ru(dcbpy)Cl, which avoided the defects of the long electron transfer path and large energy loss between the emitter and coreactant in the traditional coreaction ECL system. Impressively, in the presence of target TK1 mRNA, three-dimensional DNA network structure-labeled numerous ferrocene probes could be assembled to quickly quench the ECL signal of BCN NSs-Ru, resulting in improved biosensor sensitivity.

In this study, a ratiometric optical fiber dissolved oxygen sensor based on dynamic quenching of fluorescence from a ruthenium complex is reported. Tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthrolin) ruthenium(II) dichloride complex (Ru(dpp)) is used as an oxygen-sensitive dye, and semiconductor nanomaterial CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) are used as a reference dye by mixing the two substances and coating it on the plastic optical fiber end to form a composite sensitive film. The linear relationship between the relative fluorescence intensity of the ruthenium complex and the oxygen concentration is described using the Stern-Volmer equation, and the ruthenium complex doping concentration in the sol-gel film is tuned.

A series of novel luminescent nanostructured coordination polymers (Ce-Ru-NCPs) with tunable morphologies have been successfully synthesized on a large scale at room temperature by a facile and rapid solution-phase method using Ce and tris(4,4'-dicarboxylicacid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) dichloride (Ru(dcbpy)). Among them, the flowerlike Ce-Ru-NCP shows good cathodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) characteristics. The ECL efficiency of the Ce-Ru-NCP/SO system is about 2.
