The Control of Orbital Mixing in Ruthenium Complexes Containing Quinone Related Ligands

Abstract

Three redox series of complexes of the general formula Ru(II) (bpy) 2LL an Ru(II) (Py)4LL (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) are reported, where LL are the ligands, 1,2-dihydroxybenzen, 2-aminophenol or 1,2-diaminobenzene. These ligands can exist in the fully reduced catechol form, or the one and two electron oxidized semiquinone and quinone forms. Electronic and electron spin resonance spectroscopic, and electrochemical data are discussed in terms of orbital mixing and electronic structure, and the number of oxygen or nitrogen atoms in the coordinating ligand.
