Thione and selone ligands preferentially oxidize to protect redox active-metals from oxidation, but the effects of thione or selone coordination to a redox-inactive metal have not been examined. Therefore, Zn(II)-containing thione and selone complexes of the formulae Zn(L)2Cl2and [Zn(L)4]2+(L =N,N′-dimethylimidazole thione, dmit, and selone, dmise) have been synthesized and their properties, including electronic spectra and DFT calculations, compared with analogous Fe(II) complexes. The Zn(dmit/dmise)2Cl2complexes were also oxidized with H2O2, resulting in oxidation and Cdouble bondS/Se bond cleavage of the dmit and dmise ligands. Electrochemical studies show that upon redox-inactive Zn(II) coordination, dmit- and dmise-based oxidation potentials decrease relative to those of analogous redox-active Fe(II) complexes, demonstrating that the redox activity of the metal ion significantly effects the redox properties of the ligands.
