Abstract

Reaction of the anionic cyanometallate chromophore [{Ru(CN)4}3(μ3-HAT)]6− with [MII(tren)]2+ complexes (M = ZnII, CuII) provides discrete tetradecanuclear clusters of formula [{MII(tren)(μ-CN)}11{Ru3(HAT)(CN)}]16+; the weak luminescence of the Ru3 chromophore is substantially enhanced in the presence of ZnII ions, whereas it is completely quenched when CuII centers are present.
