| Abstract: | Reaction of 2-(phenylazo)pyridine (pap) with Ru(PPh3)3X2] (X = Cl, Br) in dichloromethane solution affords Ru(PPh3)2(pap)X2]. These diamagnetic complexes exhibit a weakdd transition and two intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. In dichloromethane solution they display a one-electron
reduction of pap near − 0.90 V vs SCE and a reversible ruthenium(II)-ruthenium(III) oxidation near 0.70 V vs SCE. The RuIII(PPh3)2(pap)Cl2]+ complex cation, generated by coulometric oxidation of Ru(PPh3)2(pap)Cl2], shows two intense LMCT transitions in the visible region. It oxidizes N,N-dimethylaniline and RuII(bpy)2Cl2] (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) to produce N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylbenzidine and RuIII(bpy)2Cl2]+ respectively. Reaction of Ru(PPh3)2(pap)X2] with Ag+ in ethanol produces Ru(PPh3)2(pap)(EtOH)2]2+ which upon further reaction with L (L = pap, bpy, acetylacetonate ion(acac−) and oxalate ion (ox2−)) gives complexes of type Ru(PPh3)2(pap)(L)]n+ (n = 0, 1, 2). All these diamagnetic complexes show a weakdd transition and several intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. The ruthenium(II)-ruthenium(III) oxidation potential
decreases in the order (of L): pap > bpy > acac− > ox2−. Reductions of the coordinated pap and bpy are also observed. |
