Abstract
The six-coordinate ruthenium(II) porphyrin complexes (OEP)Ru(CO)(Q), (OEP = 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrinato dianion; Q = quinoline, Qnl (2); quinine, QN (3)) have been prepared from (OEP)Ru(CO) (1) and characterized by MS, IR, UV–visible and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray crystal structure of 2 has been determined, which reveals quinoline coordination to Ru through the nitrogen atom. In the crystal packing of 2, the two Qnl groups of adjacent porphyrins are positioned relatively parallel to each other at a close distance of 3.30 Å, implying a relatively strong π-π interaction. The X-ray crystal structure of 1 was obtained, which revealed coordination of the water to the ruthenium center. By comparing the spectroscopic data for 1, 2 and 3, it was determined that the site of binding of QN to Ru is likely through the nitrogen atom of the quinoline moiety. The redox behavior of the complexes at a Pt working electrode studied in a CH2Cl2 solution with NBu4PF6 as support electrolyte by cyclic voltammetry revealed oxidations that are porphyrin-centered.
期刊介绍:
Transition Metal Chemistry is an international journal designed to deal with all aspects of the subject embodied in the title: the preparation of transition metal-based molecular compounds of all kinds (including complexes of the Group 12 elements), their structural, physical, kinetic, catalytic and biological properties, their use in chemical synthesis as well as their application in the widest context, their role in naturally occurring systems etc.
Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be of broad appeal to the readership and for this reason, papers which are confined to more specialised studies such as the measurement of solution phase equilibria or thermal decomposition studies, or papers which include extensive material on f-block elements, or papers dealing with non-molecular materials, will not normally be considered for publication. Work describing new ligands or coordination geometries must provide sufficient evidence for the confident assignment of structural formulae; this will usually take the form of one or more X-ray crystal structures.
