Abstract
A 1,4-benzene-bridged covalent hybrid of triarylamine and cyclometalated ruthenium 12+ was isolated as a bench-stable open-shell substance. The free spin in this complex is mainly associated with the triarylamine unit, as indicated by EPR and DFT calculations and electrochemical analysis. It exhibits an intense intervalence-charge-transfer transition around 1050 nm that is not present in 1+ and 13+.
