Metal–ligand cooperativity (MLC) relies on chemically reactive ligands to assist metals with small-molecule binding and activation, and it has facilitated unprecedented examples of catalysis with metal complexes. Despite growing interest in combining ligand-centered chemical and redox reactions for chemical transformations, there are few studies demonstrating how chemically engaging redox active ligands in MLC affects their electrochemical properties when bound to metals. Here we report stepwise changes in the redox activity of model Ru complexes as zero, one, and two BH3molecules undergo MLC binding with a triaryl noninnocent N2S2ligand derived fromo-phenylenediamine (L1). A similar series of Ru complexes with a diaryl N2S2ligand with ethylene substituted in place of phenylene (L2) is also described to evaluate the influence of theo-phenylenediamine subunit on redox activity and MLC. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that MLC attenuates ligand-centered redox activity in both series of complexes, but electron transfer is still achieved when only one of the two redox-active sites on the ligands is chemically engaged. The results demonstrate how incorporating more than one multifunctional reactive site could be an effective strategy for maintaining redox noninnocence in ligands that are also chemically reactive and competent for MLC.
