A new class of near-infrared electrochromic oxamide-based dinuclear ruthenium complexes.
We report the synthesis of a new class of symmetric and unsymmetric oxamide-based dinuclear ruthenium complexes. These complexes were characterized by NMR, ESI-MS, and electrochemical methods. Spectroelectrochemical analysis of the complexes showed broad absorptions in the NIR region for the mixed-valence state of the complexes. The introduction of a chiral group into the bridging ligand produced an optically active complex that was studied using circular dichroism. [structure: see text]
