Chemical structures of heteroleptic Ru(II) complexes bearing 2,2’-bipyridine (bpy) ligands. BTPIP = (2-(4-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo [4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline); ETPIP = 2-(4-(thiophen-2-ylethynyl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline); CAPIP = (E)-2-(2-(furan-2-yl)vinyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline; dmp = 4,4’-dimethyl-2,2’-bipyridine; bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline.
