Ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes form a vast family of molecules characterized by their
finely tuned photochemical and photophysical properties. Their ability to undergo excited …

Even though the existence of 1, 2, 3‐triazoles has been known for more than a century, the
recent discovery of a copper (I) catalyzed version of this reaction has attributed …

The elucidation of reaction mechanisms taking place in the excited state is a current
challenge for experimental and theoretical chemists. Ru (II) complexes have a long history …

The copper-catalysed cycloaddition of alkynes and azides to form 1, 2, 3-triazoles has
emerged as a powerful tool in ligand design and the synthesis of novel transition metal …

Two inverse 2-pyridyl-1, 2, 3-triazole “click” ligands, 2-(4-phenyl-1 H-1, 2, 3-triazol-1-yl)
pyridine and 2-(4-benzyl-1 H-1, 2, 3-triazol-1-yl) pyridine, and their palladium (II), platinum …

Ruthenium (II) complexes feature prominently in the development of agents for
photoactivated chemotherapy; however, the excited-state mechanisms by which …

A complete mechanistic picture for the photochemical release of bipyridine (bpy) from the
archetypal complex [Ru (bpy) 3] 2+ is presented for the first time following the description of …

Bidentate ligands containing at least one triazole or triazolylidene (mesoionic carbene, MIC)
unit are extremely popular in contemporary chemistry. One reason for their popularity is the …

The photophysical properties of transition metal complexes have long attracted interest in
the literature with significant research activity during the past two to three decades due to the …

DOI: 10.1039/9781849737692-00001 1, 2, 3-triazoles derived through copper (I) catalysed
'click'chemistry have received rapidly growing interest for their application in new ligand …
