A hemilabile ligand approach to ruthenium-based luminescent molecular sensors

In this thesis, luminescent Ru(II) complexes that contain a metal-based receptor site for nucleophilic small molecules were studied, with emphasis on their potential utility as luminescent chemosensors. Two approaches to achieving small-molecule dependent luminescence were investigated: one explo...
