title: Tuning the electrical and optical properties of dinuclear ruthenium complexes for near infrared optical sensing.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Redox-active dinuclear ruthenium complexes with various 1,2-dicarbonylhydrazido (DCH) ligands are designed and prepared to have intense absorption in the near-infrared region for potential optical sensing in aqueous media, as demonstrated for sensing hydrogen peroxide in this study.
