Abstract

Crystallographically characterised 3,6-bis(2'-pyridyl)pyridazine (L) forms complexes with {(acac)2Ru} or {(bpy)2Ru2+} via one pyridyl-N/pyridazyl-N chelate site in mononuclear RuII complexes (acac)2Ru(L), 1, and [(bpy)2Ru(L)](ClO4)2, [3](ClO4)2. Coordination of a second metal complex fragment is accompanied by deprotonation at the pyridazyl-C5 carbon {L → (L - H+)-} to yield cyclometallated, asymmetrically bridged dinuclear complexes [(acac)2RuIII(μ -L - H+)RuIII(acac)2](ClO4), [2](ClO4), and [(bpy)2RuII(μ -L - H+)RuII(bpy)2](ClO4)3, [4](ClO4)3. The different electronic characteristics of the co-ligands, s donating acac- and π accepting bpy, cause a wide variation in metal redox potentials which facilitates the isolation of the diruthenium(III) form in [2](ClO4) with antiferromagnetically coupled RuIII centres (J = -11.5 cm-1) and of a luminescent diruthenium(II) species in [4](ClO4)3. The electrogenerated mixed-valent RuIIRuIII states 2 and [4]4+ with comproportionation constants Kc > 108 are assumed to be localised with the RuIII ion bonded via the negatively charged pyridyl-N/pyridazyl-C5 chelate site of the bridging (L - H+)- ligand. In spectroelectrochemical experiments they show similar intervalence charge transfer bands of moderate intensity around 1300 nm and comparable g anisotropies (g1 - g3≈ 0.5) in the EPR spectra. However, the individual g tensor components are distinctly higher for the p acceptor ligated system [4]4+, signifying stabilised metal d orbitals.
