Synthesis and properties of gold(I) and Ruthenium(II) complexes of beta-substituted oligothiophenes

Oligothiophenes functionalized in the beta-position with ethynyl and aryl phosphine groups (57 – 59) are reported. Compounds 57 and 59 are used as bridging ligands with Au(I) (80 – 82, 93 – 95), while compounds 57 and 58 are used as tridentate ligands with Ru(II) (104 – 112). The optical and elect...
