Developing osmium(II) tris(2,2′-bipyridyl) derivatives as reagents for luminogenic assays

Abstract

The combined effects of an ethynylene substituent and reversible energy transfer to an appended anthracene unit provide access to luminophoric osmium(II) tris (2,2′-bipyridyl) derivatives of unusually long triplet lifetime and whose improved optical properties might provide new analytical opportunities.
