Chemical oxidation of [Ru2(6+)(3,6-DTBCat)4]2- affords [n-Bu4N][Ru2(3,6-DTBDiox)4].acetone (2.acetone). The oxidized species was characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis and EPR, and the delocalization of the unpaired electron over the entire molecule was indicated. This example showed that the utilization of redox-active ligands into a Ru2 complex expanded the degree of freedom in the electronic structure. DFT calculations support this view, and the spin population was estimated to be approximately 18% and 82% for the Ru2 core and the four dioxolene ligands, respectively.
[Ru2(6+)(3,6 - DTBCat)4]2- 的化学氧化得到 [n - Bu4N][Ru2(3,6 - DTBDiox)4]·丙酮 (2·丙酮)。通过X射线晶体学分析和电子顺磁共振对氧化产物进行了表征,结果表明未成对电子在整个分子中发生了离域。该实例表明,将氧化还原活性配体引入Ru2配合物中扩展了电子结构的自由度。密度泛函理论计算支持这一观点,对于Ru2核心和四个二氧戊环配体,自旋布居分别估计约为18%和82%。
