Zusammenfassung

The new redox-active complexes RuH(CO)(EPh3)2(m-Q2-)RuH(CO)(EPh3)2, E = P (1) and E = As (2) with the bis-chelate bridging ligand Q2-= 1,4-dioxido-9,10-anthraquinone were prepd. and characterized. The related compd. RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2(m-Qx2-)RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2 (4) with E = P and Qx2- = 5,8-dioxido-1,4-naphthoquinone 4 revealed trans-positioned PPh3 groups. The electrogenerated 1-electron oxidized states 1+ and 2+ were examd. using spectroelectrochem. techniques (EPR, IR and UV/visible/NIR). In situ EPR studies gave spectra with 31P or 75As hyperfine splitting of $\sim$16 G, small 99,101Ru coupling and small g-anisotropy in the frozen soln. state. The 31P and 75As hyperfine values reflect axial positioning of the four Ru-E bonds relative to the plane of an anthrasemiquinone bridge. Single CO stretching bands around 1910 cm-1 of the precursors 1 and 2 shift by $\sim$25 cm-1 to higher energies on oxidn. The direction, uniformity and the extent of the shifts confirm ligand bridge-based oxidn. Absorbance by the cations in the near IR region is thus assigned to intra-ligand transitions of ruthenium(II)-bonded anthrasemiquinones and not to intervalence charge transfer of mixed-valent species. Ruthenium(II) stabilization by CO and EPh3 is made responsible for the anthrasemiquinone formation instead of metal-centered oxidn. on SciFinder(R)
