5,5′-Bis(2”-bithiophene)-2,2′-bipyridine ligand (L) and its Ru complex [Ru(L)3(PF6)2] were synthesized and underwent polymn. upon electrochem. oxidn. The resultant polythiophene-Ru(L)3n+ hybrid material displayed both the conducting properties of the polymer and the redox properties of the isolated metal centers which was shown by cyclovoltammetry.
