Experimental and DFT/TD-DFT Studies of [Ru(bbp)2]2+ Complex: FMO Analysis and Global Reactivity Descriptors
The homoleptic ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(bbp)2]2+ (bbp = 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Visible, FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MALDI-TOF-MS techniques. The spectroscopic data support coordination of the tridentate bbp ligand to the ruthenium center and f...
