Three novel unsymmetrical Ru(II) bipyridine complexes were generated via a convenient, modular, convergent synthetic route. An investigation of their photophysical properties revealed solvent-dependent excited state behaviour including altered absorption and emission wavelengths, emission lifetimes and quantum yields of phosphorescence.
