    The cationic complexes [(η6-arene)Ru(SC5H4NH)3]2+, arene being C6H6 (1), MeC6H5 (2), p-iPrC6H4Me (3) or C6Me6 (4), have been synthesised from the reaction of 4-pyridinethiol with the corresponding precursor (η6-arene)2Ru2 (μ2-Cl)2Cl2 and isolated as the chloride salts. The single-crystal X-ray structure of [4](PF6)2 reveals three 4-pyridinethiol moieties coordinated to the ruthenium centre through the sulphur atom, with the hydrogen atom transferred from the sulphur to the nitrogen atom. The electrochemical study of 1–4 shows a clear correlation between the Ru(II)/Ru(III) redox potentials and the number of alkyl substituents at the arene ligand (E°′ (RuII/III): 1 > 2 > 3 > 4), whereas the cytotoxicity towards A2780 ovarian cancer cells follows the series 4 > 1 > 3 > 2, the hexamethylbenzene derivative 4 being the most cytotoxic one. The corresponding reaction of the ortho-isomer, 2-pyridinethiol, with (η6-C6Me6)2Ru2 (μ2-Cl)2Cl2 does not lead to the expected 2-pyridinethiolato analogue, but yields the neutral complex (η6-C6Me6)Ru(η2-SC5H4N)(η1-SC5H4N) (5). The analogous complex (η6-C6Me6)Ru(η2-SC9H6N)-(η1-SC9H6N) (6) is obtained from the similar reaction with 2-quinolinethiol.

    The mononuclear cations [(η5-C5Me5)RhCl(bpym)]+ (1), [(η5-C5Me5)IrCl(bpym)]+ (2), [(η6-p-PriC6H4Me)RuCl(bpym)]+ (3) and [(η6-C6Me6)RuCl(bpym)]+ (4) as well as the dinuclear dications [{(η5-C5Me5)RhCl}2 (bpym)]2+ (5), [{(η5-C5Me5)IrCl}2 (bpym)]2+ (6), [{(η6-p-PriC6H4Me)RuCl}2 (bpym)]2+ (7) and [{(η6-C6Me6)RuCl}2 (bpym)]2+ (8) have been synthesised from 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpym) and the corresponding chloro complexes [(η5-C5Me5)RhCl2]2, [(η5-C5Me5)IrCl2]2, [(η6-PriC6H4Me)RuCl2]2 and [(η6-C6Me6)RuCl2]2, respectively. The X-ray crystal structure analyses of [3][PF6], [5][PF6]2, [6][CF3SO3]2 and [7][PF6]2 reveal a typical piano-stool geometry around the metal centres; in the dinuclear complexes the chloro ligands attached to the two metal centres are found to be, with respect to each other, cis oriented for 5 and 6 but trans for 7. The electrochemical behaviour of 1–8 has been studied by voltammetric methods. In addition, the catalytic potential of 1–8 for transfer hydrogenation reactions in aqueous solution has been evaluated: All complexes catalyse the reaction of acetophenone with formic acid to give phenylethanol and carbon dioxide. For both the mononuclear and dinuclear series the best results were obtained (50 °C, pH 4) with rhodium complexes, giving turnover frequencies of 10.5 h−1 for 1 and 19 h−1 for 5.

    The dinuclear bis(ferrocenecarboxylato) complex Ru2 (CO)4 (μ-OOCFc)2 (py)2 (Fc = ferrocenyl, py = pyridine) was found to react with aromatic diimines (2,2′-dipyridyl, 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 1,10-phenanthroline, 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline, and 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline) in methanol to give the cationic diruthenium complexes [(N∩N)2Ru2 (CO)2 (μ-CO)2(μ-OOCFc)]+ (1: N∩N = 2,2′-dipyridyl, 2: N∩N = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, 3: N∩N = 1,10-phenanthroline, 4: N∩N = 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline, 5: N∩N = 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline), which have been isolated as the hexafluorophosphate salts. The molecular structure of 3, solved by single-crystal X-ray analysis of the tetraphenylborate salt [3][BPh4], shows a diruthenium backbone bridged by two carbonyl and by one ferrocenecarboxylato ligand, the two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands being in the axial positions. Cyclic voltammetry in dichloromethane reveals for all compounds two successive oxidations due to ferrocene/ferrocenium redox couple and oxidation of the diruthenium core.

    The mononuclear complexes [(η5-C5Me5)IrCl(L1)] (1), [(η5-C5Me5)RhCl(L1)] (2), [(η6-p-PriC6H4Me)RuCl(L1)] (3) and [(η6-C6Me6)RuCl(L1)] (4) have been synthesised from pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (HL1) and the corresponding complexes [{(η5-C5Me5)IrCl2}2], [{(η5-C5Me5)RhCl2}2], [{(η6-p-PriC6H4Me)RuCl2}2], and [{(η6-C6Me6)RuCl2}2], respectively. The related dinuclear complexes [{(η5-C5Me5)IrCl}2 (μ-L2)] (5), [{(η5-C5Me5)RhCl}2 (μ-L2)] (6), [{(η6-p-PriC6H4Me)RuCl}2 (μ-L2)] (7) and [{(η6-C6Me6)RuCl}2 (μ-L2)] (8) have been obtained in a similar manner from pyrazine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (H2L2). Compounds isomeric to the latter series, [{(η5-C5Me5)IrCl}2 (μ-L3)] (9), [{(η5-C5Me5)RhCl}2 (μ-L3)] (10), [{(p-PriC6H4Me)RuCl}2 (μ-L3)] (11) and [{(η6-C6Me6)RuCl}2 (μ-L3)] (12), have been prepared by using pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (H2L3) instead of H2L2. The molecular structures of 2 and 3, determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, show the pyrazine-2-carboxylato moiety to act as an N,O-chelating ligand, while the structure analyses of 5–7, confirm that the pyrazine-2,5-dicarboxylato unit bridges two metal centres. The electrochemical behaviour of selected representatives has been studied by voltammetric techniques.

    The cationic ferrocenyl-containing complexes [(η6-C6Me6)2Ru2 (μ-η1:η2-CH–CHFc)2 (μ-H)]+ (3) and [(η6-C6Me6)2Ru2 (μ-PPh2)(μ-η1:η2-CH–CHFc)(μ-H)]+ (4) have been synthesised in ethanol from ethynylferrocene and the dinuclear precursors [(η6-C6Me6)2Ru2 (μ-H)3]+ (1) and [(η6-C6Me6)2Ru2(μ-PPh2)(μ-H)2]+ (2) respectively, and isolated as tetrafluoroborate salts. The spectroscopic data of 3 and 4 as well as the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of [4][BF4] show that the alkyne function of ethynylferrocene has been converted to a σ/π-ethenyl ligand by transfer of a bridging hydride from the diruthenium backbone onto the α-carbon of the triple bond in ethynylferrocene. The ferrocenyl-containing diruthenium compounds [3][BF4] and [4][BF4] as well as their parent compounds [1][BF4] and [2][BF4] have been studied by voltammetric techniques: Whereas 1 shows only an irreversible Ru(II)/Ru(III) oxidation, the phosphido-bridged derivative 2 displays two well-separated one-electron redox processes. In the case of 3 and 4, the ferrocenyl substituents give rise to additional reversible ferrocene/ferrocenium waves.

    Ruthenium(II) complexes with ferrocene-modified arene ligands: synthesis and electrochemistry

    A series of arene–ruthenium complexes of the general formula [RuCl2{η6-C6H5 (CH2)2R}L] with R=OH, CH2OH, OC(O)Fc, CH2OC(O)Fc (Fc=ferrocenyl) and L=PPh3, (diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, or bridging 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, have been synthesized. Two synthetic pathways have been used for these ferrocene-modified arene–ruthenium complexes: (a) esterification of ferrocene carboxylic acid with 2-(cyclohexa-1,4-dienyl)ethanol, followed by condensation with RuCl3 • nH2O to afford [RuCl2{η6-C6H5 (CH2)2OC(O)Fc}]2, and (b) esterification between ferrocene carboxylic acid and [RuCl2{η6-C6H5 (CH2)3OH}L] to give [RuCl2{η6-C6H5 (CH2)3OC(O)Fc}L]. All new compounds have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as by mass spectrometry. The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of [RuCl2{η6-C6H5 (CH2)3OH}(PPh3)] shows that the presence of a CH2CH2CH2OH side-arm allows [RuCl2{η6-C6H5 (CH2)3OH}(PPh3)] to form an intramolecular hydrogen bond with a chlorine atom. The electrochemical behavior of selected representative compounds has been studied. Complexes with ferrocenylated side arms display the expected cyclic voltammograms, two independent reversible one-electron waves of the Ru(II)/Ru(III) and Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox couples. Introduction of a ferrocenylphosphine onto the ruthenium is reflected by an additonal reversible, one-electron wave due to ferrocene/ferrocenium system which is, however, coupled with the Ru(II)/Ru(III) redox system.
