Abstract: | Various salts of tetracationic tris(2,2′-bipyridine)silicon(IV) and bis(2,2′;6′,2″-terpyridine)silicon(IV) were synthesized by reaction of SiI4 with the appropriate ligand followed by metathesis reactions. The resulting salts exhibit multiple, chemically reversible one-electron reduction waves that are significantly shifted to less negative reduction potentials than the corresponding ruthenium analogs. The salts also exhibit anion dependent ion pair charge transfer bands throughout the visible spectrum. Weak, low energy emission is observed from Si(bipy)3Br4 and Si(terpy)2Br4 in the solid state at 77 K when the sample is excited in the ion pair charge transfer band. |
