Stay tuned : Tuning the excited state lifetimes of Ru II polypyridyl complexes is the key to their potential applicabilities, for example, as photosensitizers. This work demonstrates that the different emissive properties of two similar Ru II polypyridyl complexes bearing peripheral ligand substitution are governed by the radiative decay rates and not the energy gap law.
