Abstract
Three new η3-butenynyl complexes [BpyRu(η3-Ph-CCCCHPh)(dppf)] (O3SCF3) (1), [BpyRu(η3-tBu-CCCCHtBu)(dppf)] (O3SCF3) (2) and [BpyRu (η3-FcCCCCHFc)(dppf)] (O3SCF3) (3) were synthesized in moderate yields via reaction of Ru(bpy)(dppf)(O3SCF3)2 (dppf = 1,1-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) with phenylacetylene (PhCCH), ferrocenyl acetylene (FcCCH) and tert-Butyl-acetylene (tBuCCH), respectively. Each compound features chelating phosphine ligands, bipyridine and butenynyl ligands η3-RCCCCHR (R = Ph, tBu and Fc) coordinated to ruthenium through carbon‑carbon coupling. Structural characterization by 1H, 31P{1H} NMR, ESI-MS, and X-ray structural analysis of the heterotetrametallic complex 3 confirmed the proposed structures. Electrochemical and UV–vis spectroscopic analyses further reveal the redox-active and light-absorbing properties of these systems.
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.
