Abstract: | The isomeric bis(tridentate) hydrazone ligand strands 1 a-c react with Ru(terpy)Cl3] (terpy=2,2':6',2'-terpyridine) to give dinuclear rack-type compounds 2 a-c, which were characterised by several techniques, including X-ray crystallography and NMR methods. The absorption spectra, redox behaviour and luminescence properties (both in fluid solution at room temperature and in rigid matrix at 77 K) of the ligand strands 1 a-c and of the metal complexes 2 a-c have been studied. Compounds 1 a-c exhibit absorption spectra dominated by intense pi-pi* bands, which, in the case of 1 b and 1 c, extend within the visible region, while the absorption spectra of the rack-type complexes 2 a-c show intense bands both the in the UV region, due to spin-allowed ligand-centred (LC) transitions, and in the visible, due to spin-allowed metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) transitions. The energy position of these bands strongly depends on the ligand strand: in the case of 2 a, the lowest energy MLCT band is around 470 nm, while in 2 b and 2 c, it lies beyond 600 nm. Ligands 1 a-c undergo oxidation processes that involve orbitals based mainly on the CH3--N--N== fragments. The complexes 2 a-c undergo reversible metal-centred oxidation, while reductions involve the hydrazone-based ligands: in 2 b and 2 c, the bridging ligand is reduced twice and in 2 a once before reduction of the peripheral terpy ligands takes place. Ligands 1 a-c exhibit luminescence from the lowest-lying 1pi-pi* level. Only for complex 2 a does emission occur; this may be attributed to a 3MLCT state involving the bridging ligand. Taken together, the results clearly indicate that the structural variations introduced translate into interesting differences in the spectroscopic, luminescence and redox properties of the ligand strands as well as of the rack-type metal complexes. |
