Canadian Journal of Chemistry-Revue Canadienne De Chimie 90(8): 693-700.0008-4042http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/V2012-045http://hdl.handle.net/10222/30713The synthesis and characterization of the first heteroleptic pyrrolide/2,2'-bipyridyl complexes of ruthenium(II) are reported. Pyrroles substituted at the 2-position with X = O functionality react with Ru(bipy)(2)Cl-2.2H(2)O to form complexes in which the pyrrolide ligands chelate to Ru(II). The library of pyrroles includes 2-formyl, 2-keto, 2-carboxylato, 2-sulfinyl, and 2-sulfonyl derivatives.article908693
