title: Triphenylamine-modified ruthenium(II) terpyridine complexes: enhancement of light absorption by conjugated bridging motifs.
abstract: The photophysical properties of a family of heteroleptic [Ru(tpy)(2)](2+) (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) complexes modified with triphenylamine donor units with different bridging units are reported.
