Abstract

(NEt4)[(acac)2RuS2ReS2Ru(acac)2] was characterized by cyclic voltammetry to reveal reversible redn. and oxidn. behavior. While the redox products proved EPR silent, the UV-visible-NIR spectroelectrochem. showed shifted charge-transfer absorptions and a typical near-IR intervalence (RuII $\rightarrow$ RuIII) band at lmax = 1725 nm (e = 1800 M-1 cm-1) for the 1-electron oxidized intermediate. The results are discussed in comparison to those obtained for [(bpy)2RuS2ReS2Ru(bpy)2]Cl3. [on SciFinder(R)]
