Application

cis-Dichlorobis(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) can be used in synthesizing a variety of ruthenium complexes such as ruthenium(II) complex that can modify the surface of gold nanoparticles for the cysteine detection by selective luminescence. It can also be used in the preparation of ruthenium complexes to design photochromic molecular switches and self-assembling supramolecular systems.
