Synthesis and physical properties of a π-conjugated ruthenium(II) dinuclear complex involving an azobenzene-bridged bis(terpyridine) ligand
A novel π-conjugated Ru(II) dinuclear complex containing a new azobenzene-bridged bis(terpyridine) ligand was synthesized and its photochemical and electrochemical properties were investigated. The ligand underwent reversible trans-cis photoisomerization,
