Abstract

The complex framework [Ru(tpy)(dpk)]2+ (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, dpk = 2,2'-dipyridyl ketone) was used to study the generation and reactivity of the nitrosyl complex [Ru(tpy)(dpk)(NO)]3+ ([4]3+). Stepwise conversion of the chloro complex [Ru(tpy)(dpk)(Cl)]+ ([1]+) via [Ru(tpy)(dpk)(MeCN)]2+ ([2]2+) and the nitro compd. [Ru(tpy)(dpk)(NO2)]+ ([3]+) yielded [4]3+; all four complexes were structurally characterized as perchlorates. Electrochem. oxidn. and redn. were studied as a function of the monodentate ligand as were the IR and UV-visible spectroscopic responses (absorption/emission). The kinetics of the nitroso-to-nitro conversion [4]3+/[3]+ in aq. environment were also studied. Two-step redn. of [4]3+ was monitored via EPR, UV-visible, and IR (n(NO), n(CO)) spectroelectrochem. to confirm the RuNO7 configuration of [4]2+ and to exhibit a relatively intense band at 505 nm for [4]+, attributed to a ligand-to-ligand transition originating from bound NO-.
