Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)⁺ initiated construction of hexaruthenium–polypyridine complexes

Abstract

Aromatic stars containing hexa-pyridine, -bipyridine and -terpyridine branches are synthesised with or without the central Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)⁺ group and coordinated to ru-thenium(II) polypyridine moities to construct hexa- and hepta-nuclear hexa-bipyiridine and -terpyridine complexes.
