The complexes [Ru(tpy)(acac)(Cl)], [Ru(tpy)(acac)(H2O)](PF6) (tpy = 2,2',2''-terpyridine, acacH = 2,4 pentanedione) [Ru(tpy)(C2O4)(H2O)] (C2O42- = oxalato dianion), [Ru(tpy)(dppene)(Cl)](PF6) (dppene = cis-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene), [Ru(tpy)(dppene)(H2O)](PF6)(2), [Ru(tpy)(C2O4)(py)], [Ru(tpy)(acac)(py)](ClO4), [Ru(tpy)(acac)(NO2)], [Ru(tpy)(acac)(NO)] (PF6)(2), and [Ru(tpy)(PSCS)Cl] (PSCS = 1-pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate anion) have been prepared and characterized by cyclic voltammetry and W-visible and FTIR spectroscopy. [Ru(tpy)(acac)(NO2)](+) is stable with respect to oxidation of coordinated NO2- on the cyclic voltammetric time scale. The nitrosyl [Ru(tpy)(acac)(NO)](2+) falls on an earlier correlation between v(NO) (1914 cm(-1) in KBr) and E(1/2) for the first nitrosyl-based reduction 0.02 V vs SSCE. Oxalate ligand is lost from [Ru-II(tpy)(C2O4)(H2O)] to give [Ru(tpy)(H2O)(3)](2+). The Ru(III/Il) and Ru(IV/III) couples of the aqua complexes are pH dependent. At pH 7.0, E(1/2) values are 0.43 V vs NHE for [Ru-III(tpy)(acac)(OH)](+)/[Ru-II(tpy)(acac)(H2O)](+), 0.80 V for [Ru-IV(tpy)-(acac)(O)](+)/[Ru-III(tpy)(acac)(OH)](+), 0.16 V for [Ru-III(tpy)(C2O4)(OH)]/[Ru-II(tpy)(C2O4)(H2O)] and 0.45 V for [Ru-IV(tpy)(C2O4)(O)]/[Ru-III(tpy)(C2O4)(OH)]. Plots of E(1/2) vs PH define regions of stability for the various oxidation states and the pK(a) values of aqua and hydroxo forms. These measurements reveal that C2O42- and acac(-) are electron donating to Ru-III relative to bpy. Comparisons with redox potentials for 21 related polypyridyl couples reveal the influence of ligand changes on the potentials of the Ru(IV/III) and Ru(III/II) couples and the difference between them, Delta E(1/2). The majority of the effect appears in the Ru(III/II) couple. A linear correlation exists between Delta E(1/2) and the sum of a set of ligand parameters defined by Lever et al., Sigma E(i)(L(i)), for the series of complexes, but there is a dramatic change in slope at Delta E(1/2) approximate to -0.11 V and Sigma E(i)(L(i)) = 1.06 V. Extrapolation of the plot of Delta E(1/2) VS Sigma E(i)(L(i)) suggests that there may be ligand environments in which Ru(III) is unstable with respect to disproportionation into Ru(IV) and Ru(II). This would make the two-electron RuIVO/(RuOH2)-O-II couple more strongly oxidizing than the one-electron (RuO)-O-IV/(RuOH)-O-III couple.
