Heterotrimetallic M−M′−M′′ Transition Metal Complexes Based on 1,3,5-Triethynylbenzene: Synthesis, Solid State Structure, and Electrochemical and UV−Vis Characterization. EPR Analysis of the in Situ Generated Associated Radical Cations
摘要:
The synthesis of a series of complexes with different organometallic building blocks unsymmetrically arranged around the periphery of a 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene core is discussed. They are accessible by diverse consecutive reaction sequences, which allow the introduction of transition metal units such as Fc, [((t)Bu(2)bpy)(CO)(3)Re], [(eta(5)-C5H5)(Ph3P)(2)Ru], [(eta(5)-C5H5)(Ph3P)(2)Os], and trans-[(Ph3P)(2)(Cl)Pt] (Fc = (eta(5)-C5H5)(eta(5)-C5H4)Fe; (t)Bu(2)bpy = 4,4 '-di-tert-butyl-2,2 '-bipyridyl). The solid state structures of five complexes have been determined. The electrochemical behavior of the newly synthesized mono-, heterobi-, and heterotrimetallic assemblies have been studied, showing that there is no significant electronic interaction between the respective metal atoms. UV-vis spectroscopic measurements suggest a weak interaction between the appropriate metal atoms. The associated radical cations were in situ generated by stepwise chemical oxidation and characterized by continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigations in X-band performed at low temperatures.
