A novel hetero-oligomer containing one ruthenium(II) and three platinum(II) metal centres bridged by 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline
Abstract
The hetero-oligonuclear complex, [Ru(BL1)3(PtCl2)3](PF6)2, where BL1 is 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline, has been synthesized and its properties have been determined by visible–u.v. spectroscopy and electrochemical methods; in the complex, ruthenium(II) acts as the central atom and is bridged to the platinum(II) centres by the BL1 ligand.
