Abstract:
The dianion derived from (2Z,6Z)-3,7-diphenyl-N2,N6-di(pyridin-2-yl)pyrrolo[2,3-f]indole-2,6(1H,5H)-diimine (H2 BL), a modified BODIPY ligand precursor, is shown to be capable of bridging two metal complex fragments RuL2 , L=2,4-pentanedionato (acac- ), 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 2-phenylazopyridine (pap) in [Ru(acac)2 Ru(μ-BL)Ru(acac)2 ] (1/2), [Ru(bpy)2 Ru(μ-BL)Ru(bpy)2 ](ClO4 )2 ([3](ClO4 )2 ) and [Ru(pap)2 Ru(μ-BL)Ru(pap)2 ](ClO4 )2 ([4](ClO4 )2 ). The compounds, including a diastereoisomeric pair 1 (meso) and 2 (rac) were spectroscopically and structurally characterized. Reversible electron transfers as revealed by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry allowed for an EPR and UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemical investigation of several neighboring charge states. Together with susceptibility measurements and TD-DFT calculations the assignment of oxidation states reveals that 1, 2 are diruthenium(III) species which can be oxidized or reduced by one electron whereas 32+ and 42+ contain ruthenium(II) and get reduced or oxidized mainly at the dianionic bridge (32+ ) or are reduced at the ancillary ligands pap (42+ ).

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
