title: From eilatin to isoeilatin: a skeletal rearrangement strongly influences pi-stacking of Ru(II) complex.
abstract: The C(1)-symmetrical complex [Ru(bpy)(2)(ieil)][PF(6)](2) exhibits unique electrochemical and photophysical properties, and forms discrete dimers in solution and in the solid state held by weak pi-pi stacking interactions via its isoeilatin ligand, preferentially from one of its faces and in a specific orientation.
