Dendrimers based on ruthenium(ii) and osmium(ii) polypyridine complexes and the approach of using complexes as ligands and complexes as metalsDedicated to Dr R Zimmermann (BD) on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Abstract

The use of the “complexes as ligands and complexes as metals” synthetic strategy for the preparation of luminescent and redox-active Ru(II) and Os(II) dendrimers, the dominant synthetic approach for this novel class of compounds, is reviewed. A few comments on the photophysical and redox properties of the metal dendrimers are provided and an overview of alternative synthetic approaches is also presented.
