Synthesis, characterization and solid-state photoluminescence studies of six alkoxy phenylene ethynylene dinuclear palladium(II) rods
A rare family of six discrete binuclear [PdCl(PEt3)2] phenylene ethynylene rods with alkoxy side chains (methoxy, ethoxy and heptoxy) have been developed, and their solid-state photoluminescence results have been presented and discussed. The shorter bridging ligands are of the general formula H–CuC– C6H2(R)2–CuC–H, where R = H, OCH3, OC 2H5, and OC7H15, whereas the longer ones are based on H– CuC–C6H4–CuC–C6H2(R)2–CuC–C6H4–CuC–H, where R = OCH3, OC 2H5. These ligands display increasing length in both the main dimension (backbone length) as well as the number of carbons in the side chains (R, alkoxide side chain) that stem from the central phenylene moiety. The X-ray crystal structures of tw…
Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of the bimetallic cyano-bridged [(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2Ru(μ-CN)Ru(PPh3)2(η5-C5H5)][PF6]
Abstract The bimetallic cyano-bridged [(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )(PPh 3 ) 2 Ru(μ-CN)Ru(PPh 3 ) 2 (η 5 -C 5 H 5 )][PF 6 ] ( 1 ) was prepared by reaction of [(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )(PPh 3 ) 2 RuCl] with N , N ′-bis(cyanomethyl)ethylenediamine. The single crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction showed crystallization on the triclinic P1 space group with a perfect alignment of the cyanide bridges. This accentric crystallization was explored having in view the NLO properties at the macroscopic level, determined by the Kurtz Powder technique. Besides the very low efficiency values for the second harmonic generation, the value obtained for the bimetallic complex 1 showed to be higher than one of the parent…
A Trinuclear Aqua Cyano‐Bridged Ruthenium Complex [{(η 5 ‐C 5 H 5 )(PPh 3 ) 2 Ru(μ‐CN)} 2 RuCl 2 (PPh 3 )(H 2 O)]PF 6 : Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure
The organometallic trinuclear aqua cyano-bridged complex [{(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2Ru(μ-CN)}2RuCl2(PPh3)(H2O)]PF6 (1), in which the fragment [RuCl2(PPh3)(H2O)] acts as a bridge and an acceptor group between the two terminal cyclopentadienyl ruthenium cyano moieties, was isolated in moderate yield from the reaction of [(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2RuCN] with [RuCl2(PPh3)3] in THF. To the best of our knowledge, compound 1 is one of the few examples of a trinuclear array of ruthenium fragments bridged by the nitrogen atom of the–C≡N– group (Ru–C≡N–Ru′–N≡C–Ru) with a Ru-coordinated water molecule. The new aqua complex was structurally characterized by FTIR, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elem…
