Abstract
Synthesis, phys. properties and the coordination with two [Ru(bpy)2]2+ complex fragments are described for 3,6-bis(2'-pyrimidyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (bmtz), the 1st compact ligand which offers four equiv. a-diimine chelate sites. Spectroelectrochem. of intensely blue (μ-bmtz)[Ru(bpy)2]2n+, n = 4, reveals a very facile redn. (n = 3) at -0.40 V vs. FeCp2+/0 and a metal oxidn. (n = 5) at +1.18 V to a diruthenium(II/III) mixed-valent form which exhibits an intervalence transfer absorption at 1490 nm. The corresponding complex (μ-H2bmtz)[Ru(bpy)2]24+ with the 1,4-dihydro form H2bmtz of the tetrafunctional ligand is oxidized in two steps at 0.58 and 1.07 vs. FeCp2+/0. [on SciFinder(R)]
