The article was titled 《Fully Delocalized (Ethynyl)(vinyl)phenylene Bridged Triruthenium Complexes in up to Five Different Oxidation States》, and you may find the article in Inorganic Chemistry.Application In Synthesis of 1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Triruthenium [(dppe)2Ru{-CC-1,4-C6H2-2,5-R2-CH:CH-RuCl(CO)(PiPr3)2}2]n+ (4a, R = H; 4b, R = OMe) containing unsym. (ethynyl)(vinyl)phenylene bridging ligands and displaying five well-separated redox states (n = 0-4) are compared to their bis(alkynyl)ruthenium precursors (dppe)2Ru{-CC-1,4-C6H2-2,5-R2-CCR’} (2a,b: R’ = TMS; 3a,b: R’ = H) and their sym. substituted bimetallic congeners, complexes {Cl(dppe)2Ru}2{μ-CC-1,4-C6H2-2,5-R2-CC} (Aa, R = H; Ab, R = OMe) and {RuCl(CO)(PiPr3)2}2{μ-CH:CH-1,4-C6H2-2,5-R2-CH:CH} (Va, R = H; Vb, R = OMe) as well as the mixed (ethynyl)(vinyl)phenylene bridged [Cl(dppe)2Ru-CC-1,4-C6H4-CH:CH-RuCl(CO)(PiPr3)2] (Ma). Successive 1-electron transfer steps were studied by cyclic voltammetry, EPR and UV-visible-NIR-IR spectroelectrochem. The 1st oxidation mainly involves the central bis(alkynyl) Ru moiety with only limited effects on the appended vinyl Ru moieties. The 2nd to 4th oxidations (n = 2, 3, 4) involve the entire C-rich conjugated path of the mol. with an increased charge uniformly distributed between the two arms of the mols., including the terminal vinyl Ru sites. To assess the charge distribution, the authors judiciously use 13CO labeled analogs to distinguish stretching vibrations due to the acetylide triple bonds and the intense and charge-sensitive Ru(CO) IR probe in different oxidation states. The comparison between complex pairs 4a,bn+ (n = 0-3), Aa,bn+ and Va,bn+ (n = 0-2) serves to elucidate the effect of the methoxy donor substituents on the redox and spectroscopic properties of these systems in their various oxidation states and on the metal/ligand contributions to their frontier orbitals.
