title: A mixed-bridging ligand nonanuclear Ru(II) dendrimer containing a tris- chelating core. Synthesis and redox properties.
abstract: The first ligand-cored dendrimer based on branching Ru(II) centers and containing mixed polypyridine bridging ligands has been prepared; redox experiments suggest that the redox-active core is not reduced at the expected potential, probably as a consequence of shielding induced by the rigid dendritic array.
