Contents/Information: R. Krause, Storrs, CT, USA: Synthesis of Ruthenium(II) Complexes of Aromatic Chelating Heterocycles: Towards the Design of Luminescent CompoundsThe majority of ruthenium(II) compounds which have been observed to be luminescent are complexes of aromatic heterocyclic chelating ligands. In this article models for the emitting excited state are reviewed, particularly with regard to the effects of molecular structure on excited state behavior.
