Ruthenium compounds

Ruthenium-containing polymers derived from cis-dichloro-bis(2-2'-bipyridine) ruthenium and selected diamine-containing dyes have been synthesized. These polymeric products were characterized using FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, light scattering photometry, and mass spectral analysis. Thermal degradation studies of these products are also presented.
