Photo-Migration of Chloride Ions Associated with Amide Substituents on Ruthenium Polypyridyl Complexes.

Ruthenium bipyridyl complexes bearing amide or ester functional groups were investigated for chloride ion recognition and migration applications. [Ru(dba)(dtb)2]2+ (Ru-dba) and [Ru(dba)(btfmb)2]2+ (Ru-btfmb), where dba is 4,4'-(CONHC4H10)2-2,2'-bipyr…
