From the practical point of view, the stability, response time and efficiency of near-infrared light-emitting electrochemical cells (NIR-LECs) are key factors. By using the high potential of chemical modification potential of the phenanthroimidazole ligand, three new binuclear ruthenium(II) complexes with an alkyl spacer as the NIR-emitter were designed and synthesized. NIR-LECs based on these complexes exhibit near-infrared emission at the maximum wavelength of up to 705 nm and with an EQE of up to 0.72% at 4.0 V, which are among the highest values for NIR-LECs based on cationic binuclear ruthenium(II) complexes reported so far. The lifetimes of NIR-LECs based on binuclear complexes were increased about 1.5-to-4-fold with respect to the ones based on mononuclear complexes. Furthermore, a significant decrease in the turn-on time of NIR-LECs by chemical tethering of a new ionic methylpyridinium moiety from 6.3 to 1.4 minutes was observed. It seems that this combinational modification approach can open a new avenue for practical applications.

The five-coordinate complex [RuCl(PNP)] () was synthesized from the binuclear [RuCl(-cym)] with a PNP-type ligand (PNP = 3,6-di--butyl-1,8-bis(dipropylphosphino)methyl)-9-carbazole - (Cbzdiphos )H) in a toluene solution, within 20 h at 110 °C, producing a green solid, which was precipitated with a 1/1 mixture of - pentane/HMDSO. The complex was characterized by NMR-H, C, and P{H}, mass spectroscopy-LIFDI, FTIR, UV/vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry, as well as a description of the optimized structure by DFT calculation. The reactivity of was investigated in the presence of potassium triethylborohydride (KBEtH, in THF solution of 1.

To effectively inhibit the growth and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), we developed a high-efficiency and low-toxicity arene ruthenium (Ru) complex based on apoferritin (AFt). To achieve this, we optimized a series of Ru(II) 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diformaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes by studying their structure-activity relationships to obtain an arene binuclear Ru(II) complex (C5) with significant cytotoxicity and high accumulation in the mitochondria of tumor cells. Subsequently, a C5-AFt nanoparticle (NPs) delivery system was constructed.

Three novel deep-red to near-infrared (DR to NIR) emitters based on mononuclear and dinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes with bulky structures were presented herein. For the first time, the unusual effects of metal coordination mode on the electroluminescence properties of a binuclear emitter were investigated. Unexpectedly, the mononuclear complexes showed superior performance in deep-red light-emitting electrochemical cells (DR-LEC) compared to the dinuclear complex.

Breast cancer is the most dangerous type in women and its fatality rate has increased over the past decade. To develop more potent and target-specific breast cancer drugs, six arene ruthenium(II) complexes (1-6) containing naphthoyl benzhydrazine ligands (NL1-NL3) were synthesized and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (infrared, UV-visible, NMR and HR-MS) methods. The SC-XRD analysis of 1 and 6 demonstrates the bis N^O bidentate binding nature of ligands to ruthenium ions and a pseudo-octahedral geometry around the Ru(II) ion.
