A Photostable 1D Ruthenium‐Zinc Coordination Polymer as a Multimetallic Building Block for Light Harvesting Systems

Teamwork makes the dream work: Synthesis of a linear, photoactive ruthenium complex has led to the fabrication and crystal structure of a 1D coordination polymer linked between the metalloligand and zinc ions. The coordination polymer exhibits exceptional photostability in comparison to its monomer counterpart. This new metalloligand offers a fresh design strategy for the development of new photoactive supramolecular architectures.
