Electrophilic functionalization of a cyclometallated ruthenium complex, an easy entry to new organometallic synthons

Abstract

With the regiospecific halogenation of the complex [Ru- (bpy)₂L¹]⁺ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, HL¹ = 2-phenylpyridine) new organometallic starting materials are now available.
