Crystal structure and redox potentials of the tppz-bridged {RuCl(bpy)}⁺ dimer.

ABSTRACT: We report the structural and electrochemical characterization of the binuclear complex [μ-(C₂₄H₁₆N₆){RuCl(C₁₀H₈N₂)}₂](PF₆)₂, which contains the bis-tridentate bridging ligand 2,3,5,6-tetra-kis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine (tppz), the monodentate ligand Cl^-, and the bidentate ligand 2,2'-bi-pyridine (bpy) {systematic name: μ-2,3,5,6-tetra-kis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-bis-[(2,2'-bi-pyridine)-chlorido-ru-thenium(II)] bis-(hexa-fluorido-phosphate)}. The complete [(bpy)(Cl)Ru(tppz)Ru(Cl)(bpy)]²⁺ dication is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry; the tppz bridging ligand has a significantly twisted conformation, with an average angle of 42.4° between the mean planes of adjace
