A ruthenium complex with a half-sandwich geometry ([(p-cymene)­Ru­(Cl)­(curcuminoid)]) was synthesized, characterized, and investigated regarding its ultrafast photophysics. These photophysical investigations of the complex revealed a weak and short-lived emission from the initially populated 1MLCT...
