HOT Article: Investigating the chemiluminescence of ruthenium complexes

Simultaneous control of spectroscopic and electrochemical properties in functionalised electrochemiluminescent tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexesChemiluminescence has been extensively used for analytical purposes but very limited research has been devoted to the theoretical basics of the technique. In this study by Paul S. Francis and co-workers in Australia, a combination of electrochemical, spectroscopic and computational techniques are used to explore the properties of ruthenium complexes designed for coupling with other molecules or surfaces for electrochemiluminescence applications.
