Three binuclear ruthenium complexes with dendritic side chains, 1,4-[RuCl(CO)(PMe3)(3)CH=CH](2)C6H2-2,5-(G(n))(2) with G(n) = G(0) (1), G(1) (2), and G(2) (3), have been synthesized by the reactions of the corresponding diethynylaryls with the ruthenium hydride complex [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)(3)] and subsequent ligand exchange with PMe3. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The structure of complex 1 has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Their electrochemical properties have been investigated. Electrochemical studies in solution may imply that the two metal centers in complexes 1-3 have good electronic communications between each other. However, the electron communication is not effectively enhanced with increasing generation of the dendrons in solution. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
