摘要:
Nine ruthenium(II) complexes containing pyrimidine-2-thione and related ligands were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, UV/VIS and H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra: [Ru(L-N,S)(bipy)(2)]ClO4 [H(n)L = Hpymt (pyrimidine-2-thione), Hmpymt (4-methylpyrimidine-2-thione), Hdmpymt (4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-thione), Hapymt (4-aminopyrimiaine-2-thione), Hdapymt (4,6-diaminopyrimidine-2-thione), H(2)tuc (2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-1H-pyrimidin-4-one, 2-thiouracil), 5-H(2)mtuc (5-methyl-2-thiouracil), 6-H(2)mtuc (6-methyl-2-thiouracil) or 6-H(2)ptuc (6-propyl-2-thiouracil); bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine]. Two linkage isomers, adjacent and remote, exist for all the complexes with unsymmetrical ligands except for apymt. The crystal structure of [Ru(mpymt)(bipy)(2)]ClO4 was determined. The mpymt ligand co-ordinates through the S-2/N-3 donors and the complex adopts an adjacent linkage form where the 4-methyl group lies just over one of the bipy chelate rings irrespective of steric hindrance. The CH-pi attractive interaction between the 4- or 6-alkyl group of the thione ligand and the pi system of bipy affects the isomer ratios in a striking manner.
