Abstract
Making the band: A bis(pyridyl)allenylidene-ruthenium complex acts as a metalloligand for the binding of metal ions. The dinuclear complex [(16-TMC)ClRu=C=C=C(2-py)2Ru(acac)2]+ (16-TMC = 1,5,9,13-tetramethyl-1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadecane) features an intense low-energy metal-to-ligand charge transfer in an excited state delocalized over both Ru ions and the allenylidene bridge (see plot of the LUMO).
