Two polypyridyl ligands, 4`-(4,5-diazafluoren-9-ylimino)benzo-15-crown-5 (L 1 ) and 4` -(4,5-diazafluoren- 9-ylimino)benzo-12-crown-4 (L 2 ), and their Ru(II) complexes [(bpy) 2 RuL 1 ](PF 6 )2 and [(bpy) 2 RuL 2 ](PF 6 ) 2 , respectively, have been synthesized and characterized. The two complexes display metal-to-ligand charge transfer absorptions at around 444 nm in CH 3 CN solution at r. t. and emission at around 573 nm in an EtOH-MeOH (4 : 1, v/v) glassy matrix at 77 K. Electrochemical studies of the complexes show one Ru(II)-centered oxidation at around 1.33 V and three ligandcentered reductions. The binding ability of the complexes with Na +  and Li +  has been investigated by UV/Vis absorption and emission spectroscopy and electrochemical titrations. Addition of Na +  and Li +  to solutions of the complexes results in a progressive quenching of the emission, a hyperchromic effect of the UV/Vis absorption, and a progressive cathodal shift of the Ru(II)-centered E1/2 potential. The stability constants for the stoichiometric 1 : 1 ratio of the complexes and the cations have been obtained by UV/Vis absorption titration.
