Abstract

The heterovalent heterodinuclear complex [(bpy)2RuII(H2pzbzim)RhIII(bpy)2](ClO4)4· 3H2O (1) and the isovalent homodinuclear complex [(bpy)2RuII(trzdc)RuII(bpy)2](ClO4)·5H2O (2), where H3pzbzim=pyrazole-3,5-bis(benzimidazole), H3trzdc=1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid and bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, have been synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. Complex 1 undergoes one electron oxidation at 1.20 V (versus Ag/AgCl) in acetonitrile, while for complex 2, two stepwise oxidations occur at 0.63 and 0.81 V with the comproportionation constant Kc, for the equilibrium RuIIRuII + RuIIIRuIII⇔2RuIIRuIII, equal to 1.11×103 at 298 K. The acid dissociation constants of the benzimidazole moieties of complex 1 have been determined in acetonitrile-water (3:2) by spectrophotometric titrations. Both complexes 1 and 2 exhibit luminescence spectra and the quantum yields obtained for methanol-ethanol (1:4) glass (at 77 K) are φ=3.1×10-2 for 1 and 3.5 × 10-2 for 2. The heterodinuclear complex [(bpy)2RuII(H2pzbzim)RhIII(bpy)2](ClO4)4· 3H2O and the homodinuclear complex [(bpy)2RuII(trzdc)RuII(bpy)2](ClO4)·5H2O have been synthesized and characterized by their IR, UV-Vis, luminescence and 1H NMR spectra. The redox behavior of the complexes has been studied.
