Ruthenium bipyridyl incorporating phenanthroline with thiourea molecules, [Ru(bpy){sub 2}(Phen-BT)](PF{sub 6}){sub 2}], has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The infrared spectra of the complex shows the characteristics stretching frequencies for N-H at 3646 and 3585 cm{sup −1}, ν(C-N){sub phen} 1426 cm{sup −1}, ν(C=O) 1675 cm{sup −1}, ν(C=S) 1246 cm{sup −1}, ν(C-H){sub aromatic} 3353-3086 cm{sup −1}, ν(C-N){sub aliphatic} 1169-1026 cm{sup −1}, ν(C-H){sub bend} 764 cm{sup −1} and ν(PF{sub 6}{sup −}){sub free} 842 cm{sup −1}. The complex reveals two π→π* absorption bands at 237 (ε=26,302) and 286 nm (ε=36,848), which were assigned to the phenanthroline and bipyridyl moieties, respectively. A slightly broad and low energy band in the UV-vis spectrum at 450 nm (ε=7,209) of the complex was assigned to a MLCT transition. Besides, the complex also exhibits an emission band at 615 nm that arises from an excitation with a 440 nm light energy. The cyclic voltammetry of the complex shows an oxidation potential at +1.305 V vs. SCE that corresponds to the formal oxidation of Ru(II) to Ru(III)
