Abstract

Efficient and direct synthesis of hexametallic complexes. [{(pap)(2)Ru(biim)}(4)M-2](ClO4)(4) (pap = 2-(Phenylazo) pyridine. M = N-1 [2a] and Cu [2b]) based on the reaction of hydrated MCl2 and [{(pap)(2)Ru(biim)}(2)Ag-2](ClO4)(2) is elaborated. Synthesis of the 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) analogue of [2a] is also described. Electrospray mass spectra of the complexes are analyzed which fully Corroborate with their formulations. X-ray structure of a representative complex [{(bpy)(2)Ru(biim)(2)}(4)Ni-2](ClO4)(4), [3a] is reported The structure consists of four octahedral [(bpy)(2)Ru(biim)] units arranged around the Ni-2-moiety in a propeller type arrangement. The separation between the two nickel (II) ions in this complex is 2.803(7) angstrom. The dependence of network topology on counteranions is also reported, which ultimately gives rise to a 2D sheet structure. Tile two nickel complexes [2a] and [3a] are diamagnetic and display resolved H-1 NMR spectra in dmso-d(6) These are intensely coloured and their visible range spectra are dominated by all intense transition (epsilon, 37,000-38.000 M-1 cm(-1)) due to Ru d pi-pi* (ligand) transition. These complexes display multiple cyclic voltammetric responses, of which the responses at anodic potentials are ascribed to oxidations of the ruthenium centres.
