Description

The preparation and properties of a hetero-chelate ruthenium(II) complex containing tridentate pyridyl-pyrazole ligand and an asymmetric tridentate nitrogenous ligand giving two different chelate rings are described. Cyclic voltammetric experiments in acetonitrile solutions reveal a quasi-reversible one-electron RuIII-RuII redox couple at 1.14 V vs saturated calomel electrode (SCE). The diffusion coefficient for this quasi-reversible system has been estimated to be 7.41 x 10-6 cm2s-1 on the basis of cyclic voltammetric experiments. A moderately good correlation has been obtained for a selected group of ruthenium(II) complexes with weak π-accepting ligands. (author). 22 refs., 2 figs
