Abstract
Four mononuclear ruthenium(III) thiourea complexes [(Me3tacn)Ru(SCN2H4)Cl2]PF6 (1), [{(Me3tacn)Ru(SCN2H4)Cl2}{(Me3tacn)Ru(SCN2H4)2Cl}]Cl(PF6)2 (2), [(Me3tacn)Ru(SCN2H4)2Cl](PF6)2 (3) and [(Me3tacn)Ru(SC2N2H6)2Cl](PF6)2 (4) were synthesized by [(Me3tacn)RuCl3·H2O] (Me3tacn = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7- triazacyclononane) with different equivalents of thiourea and its derivative in the presence of KPF6. Molecular structures of complexes 1, 2, 3·H2O and 4 were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Epc values of −0.896, −0.905, −0.911 and − 0.905 V, respectively, for complexes 1–4 are assigned for the RuIII/II redox couple. The hydrogen bonds (N − H…Cl) formed by chlorine atoms and thiourea N − H were presented in all complexes, which makes the space arrangement between ligands closer.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
