title: Click chemistry on a ruthenium polypyridine complex. An efficient and versatile synthetic route for the synthesis of photoactive modular assemblies.
abstract: In this Communication, we present the synthesis and use of [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy-CCH)](2+), a versatile synthon for the construction of more sophisticated dyads by means of click chemistry. The resulting chromophore-acceptor or -donor complexes have been studied by flash photolysis and are shown to undergo efficient electron transfer to/from the chromophore. Additionally, the photophysical and chemical properties of the original chromophore remain intact, making it a very useful component for the preparation of visible-light-active dyads.
