The reaction of 1,2-bis(5-(diphenylphosphino)-2-methylthien-3-yl) cyclopentene (PPh2-DTE-PPh2) with the triruthenium cluster precursor [Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2(CH3OH)](PF6) (1) gave monomeric or dimeric derivatives [Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2PPh2-DTE-PPh2}](PF6) ([2]PF6) and [Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2}2μ-PPh2-DTE-PPh2}](PF6)2 ([3]PF6). Reduction of [2]+ and [3]2+ afforded one- or two-electron-reduced neutral products Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2PPh2-DTE-PPh2} (2) and Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2}2μ-PPh2-DTE-PPh2} (3), respectively. These triruthenium complexes show remarkable photochromism through photochemical ring-closing (UV light irradiation) and ring-opening (Vis light irradiation) processes as well as electrochromic properties through oxidation/reduction in the triruthenium cluster. Both the photochromic and electrochromic properties of 2 and 3 are highly reversible.
1,2-双(5-(二苯基膦)-2-甲基噻吩-3-基)环戊烯(PPh2-DTE-PPh2)与三钌簇前体[Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2(CH3OH)](PF6)(1)的反应产生了单体或二聚体衍生物[Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2PPh2-DTE-PPh2}](PF6)([2]PF6)和[Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2}2μ-PPh2-DTE-PPh2}](PF6)2([3]PF6)。[2]+和[3]2+的还原分别产生了单电子或双电子还原的中性产物Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2PPh2-DTE-PPh2}(2)和Ru3O(OAc)6(py)2}2μ-PPh2-DTE-PPh2}(3)。这些三钌络合物通过光化学环合(紫外光照射)和环开(可见光照射)过程表现出显著的光致变色性,以及通过三钌簇的氧化/还原表现出电致变色性。2和3的光
