Abstract

Paramagnetic Ru(bpy)22(μ-L3+ L = N,O;N',O'-coordinating 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-semidione and P,O;P',O'-coordinating 2,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-p-benzosemiquinone; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine were obtained as redox-active yet stable species. UV-visible-near-IR spectrosocopic results were analyzed for the 3 chem. and electrochem. available oxidn. states (2+/3+/4+), and the ESR data of the (3+) intermediates show that these 1st binuclear semiquinone complexes are situated at the borderline between anion radical complexes and metal-centered mixed-valent dimers. on SciFinder(R)
