Abstract
The reaction of 2-(arylazo) aniline, (HL) [where HL is 2-(ArNN)C6H4NH2; Ar = C6H5(for HL1) and p-ClC6H4(for HL2) H represents the amino protons], with Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 and (NH4)2OsBr6 separately afforded the new tetravalent azo-anilido complexes Ru(L1)2Cl2 (1) and Os(L2)2Br2 (2), respectively. Both the species Ru(L1)2Cl2 (1) and Os(L2)2Br2 (2) were characterized by spectroscopic techniques and confirmed by x-ray structure determination. The azo-anilido chelate is six-membered; the phenyl ring adjacent to the chelate rings is distorted with four longer and two shorter bonds. This structural feature has been attributed to the delocalization of negative charge of the anionic ligands that formed in situ from the precursor (L−) due to dissociation of an amino proton. The 1H NMR spectrum of (L1)2RuCl2 confirms the low spin (S = 0) Ru(IV). Complexes 1 and 2 exhibited quasi-reversible reductive responses at −0.05 V, and −0.02 V respectively, vs. SCE. Both the complexes Ru(L1)2Cl2 and Os(L2)2Br2 shows intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. The nature of the electronic spectra and electron transfer properties of both the complexes were rationalized employing DFT computation.
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.
