Abstract

[Ru(1,10-phenanthroline)(2)(4,4,4',4'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bisoxazoline)](PF(6))(2).H(2)O (1) shows a (3)MC emission in CH(3)CN and CH(3)OH 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.
