Abstract
Four dinuclear complexes, RuII(ttpy)-(bpy)2(m-L)-PF62, where bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine, ttpy is 4-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, and L is 2,5-dimethyl-, 2,5-dichloro-, 2,3,4,5-tetrachloro- and unsubstituted 1,4-dicyanamidebenzene dianion have been synthesized and characterized. EPR spectroscopy of electrogenerated Ru-(ttpy)-(bpy)2(m-L)3+ ions shows largely ligand centered spin and thus the complexes' oxidn. states are best formulated as Ru(II), L.bul.-, Ru(II)3+. Visible-NIR and IR spectra of Ru(ttpy)(bpy)2(m-L)3+,4+ ions were also obtained by spectroelectrochem. methods. For the Ru(ttpy)(bpy)2(m-L)3+ ions, the significant variations in the spectra were rationalized in terms of an increased ruthenium contribution to the singly occupied MO with increasing no. of chloro substituents on the bridging ligand L. on SciFinder(R)
