Structural, Electronic and Thermochemical preference for multi-PCET reactivity of Ruthenium(II)-Amine and Ruthenium(IV)-Amido Complexes.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The multiredox reactivity of bioinorganic cofactors is often coupled to proton transfers. Here we investigate the structural, thermochemical, and electronic structure of ruthenium-amino/amido complexes with multi- proton-coupled electron transfer reactivity. The bis(amino)ruthenium(II) and bis(amido)ruthenium(IV) complexes [RuII(bpy)(en*)2]2+ (RuII-H0 ) and [RuIV(bpy)(en*-H2)2]2+ (RuIV-H2 ) interconvert reversibly with the transfer of 2e-/2H+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, en* = 2,3-diamino-2,3-dimethylbutane). X-ray structures allow correlations between the structural and electronic parameters, and the thermochemical data of the 2e-
