The first dithienylpyrrole (DTP)-based bipyridine ligands has been prepared and coordinated with ruthenium to give the corresponding homoleptic complexes. Bipyridine was bound at pyrrole (DTP1) or thiophene (DTP2) ring. A strong bathochromic effect was obtained by switching from pyrrole to thiophene for ligands and complexes. Interestingly the DTP2 series offered a wide absorption window from UV to visible domain with an almost constant absorbance. These effects are due to a larger extent of delocalization as supported by DFT calculations and photophysical measurements.

Abstract
The first dithienylpyrrole (DTP)-based bipyridine ligands has been prepared and coordinated with ruthenium to give the corresponding homoleptic complexes. Bipyridine was bound at pyrrole (DTP1) or thiophene (DTP2) ring. A strong bathochromic effect was obtained by switching from pyrrole to thiophene for ligands and complexes. Interestingly the DTP2 series offered a wide absorption window from UV to visible domain with an almost constant absorbance. These effects are due to a larger extent of delocalization as supported by DFT calculations and photophysical measurements.File in questo prodotto:
