Abstract
The application of polymetallic complexes to photochemical energy conversion is an active area of research. The use of tridentate complexes within this context has been less well explored than the highly studied trisbidentate structural motif. Recent interest has expanded to explore the class of tridentate bridged complexes that incorporate RuII and OsII chromophores. These systems hold promise in that they give rise to polymetallic systems that are stereochemically defined. This is important in the construction of molecular devices that utilize energy or electron transfer as it will allow control of donor—acceptor distance and orientation. This article describes some of the recent research in the construction and study of polyazine-based, tridentate-bridged complexes containing Ru11 and Os11 chromophores.Keywords
