TL;DR: The complex 12+ as discussed by the authors is a metal-containing analogue of 4,4′-bipyridine and undergoes N-alkylation reactions with a variety of alkylating agents to give more highly functionalised tetracationic complexes which may be termed metalloviologens.

TL;DR: Mixing solutions of homoleptic cobalt(II) complexes [CoA2]2+ and [CoB2] 2+ results in the establishment of a combinatorial library containing the heteroleptic complex [CoAB]2+. By using enantiomorphic ligands A and B the reactions may be followed by 1H NMR spectroscopy as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The investigation of the electronic absorption and emission spectra reveals an energy transfer in the excited state from the terminating bipy-boundMetal centres to the central terpy-bound metal centre, which indicates that the bridge is able to facilitate energyTransfer in the exciting state between the metal centres despite the lack of interactions in the ground state.

TL;DR: Self-Assembled Monolayers of Ruthenium and Osmium Bis-Terpyridine Complexes-Insights of the Structure and Tnteraction Energies by Combining Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Electrochemistry as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It was shown that the tpy coordination sites of the dinuclear complexes interact more strongly within the SAM than the bipyridine-coordinated fragments, supported by peak potential shifts, which are due to interaction forces in SAMs.
