title: Luminescent supramolecular microstructures containing Ru(bpy)3(2+): solution-based self-assembly preparation and solid-state electrochemiluminescence detection application.
abstract: In this correspondence, we report on the first preparation of novel, robust Ru(bpy)32+-containing supramolecular microstructures via a solution-based self-assembly strategy, carried out by directly mixing H2PtCl6 and Ru(bpy)3Cl2 aqueous solutions at room temperature. It reveals that both the molar ratio and concentration of reactants have a heavy influence on the morphologies of such microstructures. The electrochemical behavior of the Ru(bpy)32+ components contained in the solid film of the microstructures formed on the electrode surface is also studied and found to exhibit a diffusion-controlled voltammetric feature. Most importantly, such microstructures exhibit excellent electrochemiluminescence (ECL) behaviors and therefore hold great promise as new luminescent materials for solid-state ECL detection in capillary electrophoresis (CE) or CE microchip.
