Abstract

Abstract We synthesised star-shaped ruthenium(II) complexes containing one or five styryl-BODIPY units arranged around a central trisindazolylrutheniumcyclopentadienyl fragment. A symmetric complex was obtained following a five-fold Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of the pentabrominated key precursor while desymmetrisation was next achieved via a modular synthetic approach based on sequential chemoselective Suzuki-Miyaura reactions on a key building block bearing one iodophenyl and four bromophenyl groups.
