Observation of (MC)-M-3 emission in a mixed 1,10-phenanthroline complex of ruthenium(II) having a (RuN6)-N-II core at room temperature in solution
[Ru(1,10-phenanthroline)(2)(4,4,4',4'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bisoxazoline)](PF6)(2).H2O (1) shows a (MC)-M-3 emission in CH3CN and CH3OH at room temperature around 590 nm with radiative lifetimes of 1.22 x 10(-4) and 1.40 x 10(-4) s, respectively. The X-ray crystal structure of 1 has been determined.
