Description

Five heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes of formulae [Ru(RPy)2 (MeaaiMe)2](ClO4)2.H2O (1-5) (MeaaiMe = p-Me-C6H4-N=N-C3H2, RPy: R H (pyridine, 1), o-Me (o-methylpyridine, 2), p-Me (p-methylpyridine, 3), p-NMe2 (p-N,N-dimethylpyridine, 4), p-Cl (p-chloropyridine, 5) have been synthesized from ctc-[RuCl2(MeaaiMe)2] + AgNO3 and RPy. The complexes are characterized by IR, UV-Vis and 1H-NMR spectral data. They exhibit high intense MLCT transition in 520-545 nm. Cyclic voltammogram shows Ru(III)-Ru(II) couple along with ligand reductions. (author)
