Connectivity-Dependent Conductance of 2,2'-Bipyridine-Based Metal Complexes.

ABSTRACT: The present work provides an insight into the effect of connectivity isomerization of metal-2,2'-bipyridine complexes. For that purpose, two new 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) ligand systems, 4,4'-bis(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine (L^meta) and 5,5'-bis(3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzothiophen-5-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine (L^para) were synthesized and coordinated to rhenium and manganese to obtain the corresponding complexes MnL^meta(CO)₃Br, ReL^meta(CO)₃Br, MnL^para(CO)₃Br, MoL^para(CO)₄ and ReL^para(CO)₃Br. The experimental and theoretical results revealed that coordination to the para system, i.e., the metal ion peripheral to the conductance path, gave a slightly increased co
