Exploring the localized to delocalized transition in non-symmetric bimetallic ruthenium polypyridines

In this work, we report the evolution of the properties of the inter-valence charge transfer (IVCT) transition in a family of cyanide-bridged ruthenium polypyridines of general formula [RuII(tpy)(bpy)(μ-CN)RuIII(bpy)2(L)]3/4+ (tpy = 2,2′,6′,2′′-terpyridine; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; L = Cl-, NCS-, 4-di...
