The present article deals with a newer class of ligand bridged asymmetric complexes incorporating ancillary ligands (AL) with varying electronic characteristics: (bpy)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-)) Ru(II)(bpy)22·(12); (pap)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(II)(pap)22 (22); (bpy)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(II)(pap)22 (32); [(acac)2Ru(III)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(III)(acac)2] (4) and [(bpy)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(III)(acac)2]ClO4 ([5]ClO4) (H3L: 5-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid, bpy = moderately π-accepting 2,2'-bipyridine, pap = strongly π-accepting 2-phenylazopyridine, acac(-) = σ-donating acetylacetonate). The molecular identity of 12 was established by its single crystal X-ray structure. A large shift in Ru(II)/Ru(III) potential of 0.7-2.0 V took place on switching the ancillary ligands from AL = bpy to pap to acac(-), leading to the stabilisation of ruthenium(II) and ruthenium(III) states in 1(2+), 2(2+), 3(2+), 4 and 5(+), respectively. The detailed magnetic studies revealed that the paramagnetic Ru(III)Ru(III) state in 4 essentially behaves as a system with two independent S = 1/2 spins and it exhibits an anisotropic EPR at 77 K (
本文涉及一类新型的配体桥联不对称配合物,其中包含具有不同电子特性的辅助配体 (AL):(bpy)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(II)(bpy)22·(12); (pap)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(II)(pap)22 (22); (bpy)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(II)(pap)22 (32); [(acac)2Ru(III)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(III)(acac)2] (4) 和 [(bpy)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(III)(acac)2]ClO4 ([5]ClO4) (H3L:5-(1H-苯并[d]咪唑-2-基)-1H-咪唑-4-羧酸,bpy = 中等π-接受 2,2'-联吡啶,pap = 强π-接受 2-苯并氮杂吡啶,acac(-) = σ-供体乙酰丙酮)。12 的分子身份通过其单晶 X 射线结构确定。当辅助配体从 AL = bpy 切换到 pap 到 acac(-) 时,Ru(II)/Ru(III) 电势能发生了 0.7-2.0 V 的大位移,导致 1(2+)、2(2+)、3(2+)、4 和 5(+)中分别稳定了钌(II)和钌(III)态。详细的磁性研究表明,4 中的顺磁 Ru(III)Ru(III)态本质上表现为两个独立 S = 1/2 自旋的系统,它在 77 K 时表现出各向异性 EPR (
