A series of hexacoordinate polypyridyl silicon complexes have been synthesized, including Si(bipy)3(PF6)4, Si(phen)3(PF6)4, Si(terpyridine)2(PF6)4, and some heteroleptic complexes including Si(phen)2(OMe)2(PF6)4, Si(bipy)2(OMe)2(PF6)4. The electrochemical and optical characterization of these ionic compounds is underway. So far most of the compounds have multiple reversible reduction peaks and many exhibit visible luminescence.
