Abstract

A complete EPR and UV-Vis-NIR spectroelectrochemical characterisation has been carried out for the series 12+/+/0/-/2- where 1 is the new complex {(μ-L)[RuII(acac)2]2}, L = 3,3',4,4'-tetraimino-3,3',4,4'-tetrahydrobiphenyl. The paramagnetic intermediates are identified as the anion radical (L -) complex 1- with a long-wavelength intra-ligand transition at 2160 nm and as the weakly coupled diruthenium(II,III) species 1+ (Kc = 103) with a low-intensity intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) band at 1570 nm. DFT calculations using ADF and Gaussian 03 programs support these assignments.
