A ruthenium(II)-pyridylamine complex showing a fluxional intramolecular pi-pi interaction
A novel ruthenium(II) complex having 2-naphthoylamide groups attached to TPA (tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) was synthesized and characterized; the 2-naphthoylamide arms exhibited fluxional behavior of intramolecular pi-pi interaction.
