title: Photochemical ligand ejection from non-sterically promoted Ru(II)bis(diimine) 4,4'-bi-1,2,3-triazolyl complexes.
abstract: Complexes of the form [Ru(diimine)2(btz)](2+) (btz = 1,1'-dibenzyl-4,4'-bi-1,2,3-triazolyl) are observed to undergo photochemical ejection of the btz ligand in the absence of any promotion through steric congestion to generate cis-bis(solvent) complexes [Ru(diimine)2(solvent)2](2+).
