Synthesis of [Ru(phen)3]Cl2In a round-bottom flask, RuCl3∙3H2O (70 mg) and 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate (150 mg) were stirred in water (6 mL) until complete solvation of the solids had occurred (approx. 20 minutes). A sodium phosphinate solution (200 μL) was added to the green reaction mixture before heating at reflux for 20 minutes, during which the color should change to brown and then orange. If no color change was observed, additional sodium phosphinate solution (100 μL) was added and
