We have designed linear metalloligands which contain a central photoactive [Ru(NN)] unit bordered by peripheral metal binding sites. The combination of these metalloligands with Zn(II) and Fe(II) ions leads to heterometallic tetrahedral cages, which were studied by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and photophysical methods. Like the parent metalloligands, the cages remain emissive in solution. This approach allows direct incorporation of the favorable properties of ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes into larger self-assembled structures.
我们设计了含有中心光活性 [Ru(NN)] 单元的线性金属配合物，其外围是金属配位位点。这些金属配合物与 Zn(II) 和 Fe(II) 离子结合形成了异金属四面体笼，通过 NMR 光谱、质谱和光物理方法进行了研究。与母体金属配合物一样，笼在溶液中仍具有发光性。这种方法允许将钌(II) 多吡啶配合物的优良性质直接纳入更大的自组装结构中。
