title: Microwave-assisted synthesis and complexation of luminescent cyanobipyridyl-zinc(II) bis(thiolate) complexes with intrinsic and ancillary photophysical tunability.
abstract: A series of cyanobipyridine-derived zinc(II) bis(thiolate) complexes are prepared rapidly and efficiently by a microwave-assisted cross-coupling/complexation sequence and display luminescence that can be modulated using intrinsic functionality and ancillary ligands.
