Description
Dichlorobis(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)2Cl2) is a coordination complex widely used as a versatile building block in inorganic and materials chemistry. Featuring a ruthenium(II) center bound to two 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two chloride ions, it serves as a key precursor for the synthesis of polypyridyl ruthenium derivatives. The compound is valued in photochemistry and electrochemistry for its tunable redox properties and strong visible-light absorption, making it useful in studies of electron transfer, catalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, and luminescent probes. Spectral: Absorption ~456nm.
