With the aim of developing new molecular devices having long-range electron transfer in artificial systems and as photosensitizers, a series of homoleptic ruthenium(II) bisterpyridine complexes bearing one to three anthracenyl units sandwiched between terpyridine and 2-methyl-2-butenoic acid group are synthesized and characterized. The complexes formulated as bis-4'-(9-monoanthracenyl-10-(2-methyl-2-butenoic acid) terpyridyl) ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluorophosphate) (RBT1), bis-4'-(9-dianthracenyl-10-(2-methyl-2-butenoic acid) terpyridyl) ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluorophosphate) (RBT2), and bis-4'-(9-trianthracenyl-10-(2-methyl-2-butenoic acid) terpyridyl) ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluorophosphate) (RBT3) were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, photoluminescence, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, photoluminescence, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. The cyclic voltammograms (CVs) of (RBT1), (RBT2), and (RBT3) display reversible one-electron oxidation processes at E 1/2 = 1.13 V, 0.71 V, and 0.99 V, respectively (versus Ag/AgCl). Based on a general linear correlation between increase in the length of π-conjugation bond and the molar extinction coefficients, the Ru(II) bisterpyridyl complexes show characteristic broad and intense metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) band absorption transitions between 480-600 nm, ε = 9.45 × 10(3) M(-1) cm(-1), and appreciable photoluminescence spanning the visible region.

Anion and cation sensing aspects of a terpyridyl-imidazole based receptor have been utilized in this work for the fabrication of multiply configurable Boolean and fuzzy logic systems. The terpyridine moiety of the receptor is used for cation sensing through coordination, whereas the imidazole motif is utilized for anion sensing hydrogen bonding interaction and/or anion-induced deprotonation, and the recognition event was monitored through absorption and emission spectroscopy. The receptor functions as a selective sensor for F and Fe among the studied anions and cations, respectively.

This paper deals with the synthesis, characterization, and photophysical behaviors of three Ru(II)-terpyridine complexes derived from a terpyridyl-imidazole ligand (), wherein a terpyridine moiety has been coupled with a dimethylbenzil unit through a phenylimidazole spacer. The three complexes display strong emission at RT having excited-state lifetimes in the range of 2.3-43.

The trivalent europium ion (Eu) has garnered a great deal of interest for the design of luminescent materials possessing compound-independent emission bands, strong luminescent intensity, and long emission lifetimes. We herein introduce a synthetic methodology capable of constructing visual luminescent probes from Eu complex-functionalized silica nanocomposites and their Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films at interfaces. In order to facilitate the coordinative stabilization of Eu over carrier surfaces, silica nanoparticles (nanoSiO) were pregrafted with terpyridyl (TPy) to make nanoSiOTPy linkers.

Article Synopsis
- Incorporating molecular catalysts into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enhances their catalytic longevity and recyclability.
- The study focuses on synthesizing a specific water oxidation catalyst, Ru(tda)(pyCO2H)2, as a structural linker in a Zr-based UiO-type MOF, revealing challenges due to potential competition for Zr-coordination and free rotation of functional groups.
- Direct synthesis led to amorphous materials, while an indirect post-synthetic method using a preformed edba-MOF successfully resulted in well-defined materials, highlighting the importance of morphological differences in the MOF's structure for effective linker incorporation.

Luminescence monitoring of DNA intercalator complexes is important for assessing their localisation and targeting: We report herein a luminescent hetero-trimetallic complex with europium as a luminescent reporter and two attached platinum acetylide terpyridyl units as the DNA recognition units. The ligand, based on a bisamide derivative of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid functionalized with two ethynyl groups, provides a backbone to anchor two platinum terpyridyl units, Pt-tpy, leading to the hairpin-shaped heterometallic complex 1. We also prepared a related mono-nuclear platinum complex 2 to compare its intercalation properties with 1.
