Abstract
The newly synthesized ruthenium(II) complexes: [Ru(NP)2(acac)].PF6 (I) and [Ru(NP)2(acac-F)].PF6 (II), where NP = 8-(diphenylphosphino)quinolone, acac = acetylacetonato anion and acac-F = hexafluoroacetylacetonato anion, have been isolated and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV–Vis and single crystal X-ray analysis. Both complexes assume distorted octahedral structures. Theoretical calculations on the geometries of both complexes using DFT/B3LYP method showed a good match with the X-ray crystal structures. The calculated UV–Vis spectra of both complexes are in agreement with the experimentally measured ones. Cyclic voltammetry conducted on both complexes showed a reversible oxidative for the Ru(III)/Ru(II) couple. However, complex (II) showed a cathodic shift due to the e-withdrawing effect of F-atoms on the acac-F ligand.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
