|4 Summary|<br />

According to X-ray analysis of the compounds, no significant influence of the imidazolium<br />

sphere on the phenanthroline binding properties was found. However, the imidazole unit<br />

displays similar changes as observed in ip, bip and bbip. Electrochemistry shows the typical<br />

reversible behavior of ruthenium complexes but absorption and emission studies exhibit a<br />

strong influence of the imidazolium system which possesses very high emission quantum<br />

yields and far red-shifted emission wavelengths.<br />

7. Different attempts to access the NHC-coordination sphere of bbip or Ru(bbip), including<br />

deprotonation, complexation with [Mo(thf)(CO) 5 ] or formation of the NHC⋅BEt 3 adduct,<br />

were made. Finally, the preparation of the bridged complex Ru(bbip)Ag succeeded according<br />

to a modified literature procedure.<br />

Using this precursor, the P ∼ B ∼ C-type dyads Ru(bbip)Rh and Ru(bbip)Pd were<br />

exemplary prepared to demonstrate the potential of the carbene transfer agent. The<br />

characterization, including X-ray analysis of Ru(bbip)Ag, detailed MS and MS n studies<br />

as well as spectroscopic characterization of the bbip-bridged complexes was achieved. All<br />

Ru(bbip)-complexes display properties of the well known Ru(bpy) 3 -moiety, like 1 MLCT-<br />
