摘要

The rational design and construction of a novel trinuclear macrocycle based on half-sandwich ruthenium was herein elaborated in detail, and consequently, fully characterized by 1D NMR, IR, EA and single crystal X-ray analysis, revealing its specific molecular structure which was a classic three-member ruthenium ring bridged by an organic linker [(E)-2-(2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl)quinolin-8-ol (HL)]. To further examine its photo and electronic properties, the mothed of UV-Vis and CV was carried out at ambient temperature, revealing it has a good application for catalyzing water oxidation under alkaline conditions.
