Abstract:
A series of novel regioselective substituted tpphz ligands and two novel mononuclear ruthenium complexes of the type [(tbbpy)(2)Ru(tpphzR(n))](PF(6))(2) (where tbbpy = 4,4'-di-tert.-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine, tpphz = tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c:3'',2''-h:2''',3'''-j]phenazine, with n = 2 and R represents the bromine substituents at different positions) have been synthesized. All compounds were completely characterized by NMR and MS spectroscopy, absorption and steady-state emission spectroscopy as well as emission lifetime and electrochemical measurements. Additionally the solid-state structures of the two isomers [(tbbpy)(2)Ru(Br(2)tpphz)](PF(6))(2) 6 and [(tbbpy)(2)Ru(tpphzBr(2))](PF(6))(2) 7 are presented and compared with the results of density-functional theory calculations (DFT). Furthermore calculated Raman spectra were obtained by means of DFT calculations and used to assign the vibrational modes of the measured off resonance Raman spectra. A clear influence caused by the electronic effects of the different type and position of the substituents of tpphz on the photophysical behavior was observed.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
