title: Electrochemistry of ruthenium(II) complexes of 8-aminoquinoline.
abstract: Oxidation of [Ru(NH(2)Q)(3)](2+) (NH(2)Q = 8-aminoquinoline) results in intermolecular coupling of 8-aminoquinoline ligands to yield an electroactive polymer. Oxidative polymerization is not observed for [Ru(bpy)(2)(NH(2)Q)](2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), where only one 8-aminoquinoline ligand is present.
