However, a Ruthenium(II) ion coordinated to a triazole ring system has not yet been studied. The synthesis of a bis(azido) bis(bipyridyl) complex of Ru(II) is described here. A complete study of the electronic spectra of this complex confirms that Ru(II) is coordinated to two azido groups in the cis position. The impressive chemical stability of this Ruthenium azido complex makes it an ideal candidate to perform “Click Chemistry” with it on a variety of terminal and substituted alkynes. The reaction of the bisbipyridyl bis(azido) Ruthenium complex with terminal alkynes was investigated. The non activated terminal alkyne failed to react with the bis(azido)Ru(II) complex under the conditions in which the reaction was carried out.
