Abstract

New ruthenium(II) complexes of type [Ru(bipy)2(L)](ClO4)·H2O are formed by the reaction of [Ru(bipy)2Cl2] with HL and in one case by chelative nitrosation of ketones with [Ru(bipy)2(NO)Cl]2+[HL=RC(=NOH)C(=O)R', bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine]. These display metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions in the visible region (450-490 nm), a reversible RuIII-RuII couple near 0.9 V versus s.c.e., and one or more ligand reduction couples below -I V. Trends of E298° values for a group of related complexes are rationalised. The oxidised complex [Ru(bipy)2(L)]2+ is unstable and has a ligand-to-metal charge-transfer transition near 600 nm. Its energy correlates linearly with E298° of the RuIII-RuII couple. In acetonitrile, [Ru(bipy)2(L)]+ can be protonated to [Ru(bipy)2(HL)]2+. The RuIII-RuII couple of the protonated complex is at a higher (~1.0 V) potential than that of [Ru(bipy)2(L)]+. The chemistries of [Ru(bipy)2(L)]+ and [RuX2(HL)(L)] are compared.
