N2 - Tris-chelate 5-hydroxymethyl-2,2′-bipyridine complexes of ruthenium (II) and the structurally related benzo- and naphthoesters have been isolated. The mer-isomer of the alcohol functionalised complex has been isolated by selective precipitation from methylene chloride and was subsequently functionalised to the benzoester with retention of the geometrical isomerism. The fac- and mer-isomeric forms of the ester complexes were separated using preparative plate silica chromatography and characterised by 1H NMR spectroscopy. X-ray structural analysis of the fac-isomer of both the ester complexes confirmed the product assignment. The photophysical properties of the three isomers were investigated, indicating very similar absorption spectra to [Ru(bipy)3]2+. The emission wavelength was comparable in each case, with the aromatic ester complexes giving a much longer lifetime and higher quantum yields
