Children learn through play, and they learn more than adults might expect. Science experiments are a great way to spark their curiosity, get their minds active, and encourage them to do something that doesn’t involve a screen. 15746-57-3, C20H16Cl2N4Ru.

The complex [Ru(bpy)2L]2+, where bpy=2,2?-bipyridine, L=4-(phenylethynyl)-2,2?-bipyridine, was prepared in its racemic and resolved forms (Delta and Lambda). The phenylethynyl unit on the bipyridine for the complex acts as a binding site for alpha-cyclodextrin in water (1:1 complex, K=3390 L mol-1) or beta-cyclodextrin (2:1 complex, K1=887 L mol-1, K2=8070 L mol-1). The presence of the cyclodextrin provides partial protection to the complex under light-activated water oxidation conditions.
