Abstract

A new bis-chelating ligand containing a triarylamine electron donor core fused with a thiazolo-thiazole electron acceptor, N,N′-(thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole-2,5-diylbis(4,1-phenylene))bis(N-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-2-amine) (1) has been synthesised. This non-innocent ligand exhibits interesting electronic and spectral properties that can be tuned as a function of its redox state. In particular, modulation of the electronic state can be used to turn the fluorescence on and off. A dinuclear Ru(II) terpyridine complex, [Ru2(tpy)2Cl2(1)](PF6)2 (2) was subsequently synthesised and the properties of each of the accessible redox states explored using in situ spectroelectrochemical techniques.
