Electronic energy transfer between ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) polypyridyl luminophores in a hydrogen-bonded supramolecular assembly

Abstract
Complexes Ru–C and Os–G are derivatives of [Ru(bipy)3]2+ and [Os(bipy)3]2+ bearing peripheral cytosine (C) or guanine (G) nucleobases respectively; in CH2Cl2 these undergo association (KA > 5000 dm 3 mol 1) by hydrogen bonding between the complementary C/G groups, and Ru → Os photoinduced energy-transfer occurs within Ru–C···G–Os associated pair.
