This article reviews recent work in the area of ligand-centered reactivities in mononuclear ruthenium complexes. The coordination chemistry of polypyridine-derived ligands is discussed, with particular focus on their ligand-centered redox properties originating from the attachment of redox-responsive 1,8-naphthyridine functional groups. This review provides key insights towards the incorporation of sophisticated and versatile 1,8-naphthyridine-based ligands into mononuclear ruthenium complexes.
