title: Cyclometalated ruthenium(II) complexes with a bis-carbene CCC-pincer ligand.
abstract: The first series of cyclometalated ruthenium complexes with a CCC-pincer bis-carbene ligand have been obtained as bench-stable compounds. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of one of these complexes with 4'-di-p-anisylamino-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine is presented. The Ru(II/III) redox potentials and MLCT absorptions of these complexes can be varied by attaching an electron-donating or -withdrawing group on the noncyclometalating ligand.
