✦ Synopsis
Several tetracationic N,N'-bipyridinium-based [2]catenanes and cyclophanes have been synthesised containing, as part of the overall structure, the cation chelating 2,2'-bipyridyl (bipy) subunit. The metal binding unit is used to generate photoactive ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) assemblies, and a potential site for further metal cluster formation.
