N. Chabertcouchouron et al., NEW BIS(FERROCENYL)-BEARING TETRAAZAPORPHYRINOGEN AS AN ELECTROACTIVELIGAND FOR RUTHENIUM(II), New journal of chemistry, 21(9), 1997, pp. 993-999
A new tetrapyrazolic macrocycle M bearing two ferrocenyl substituents
has been synthesized. Its reaction with RU(DMSO)(4)Cl-2 leads to a sta
ble complex RUM(DMSO)(H2O)Cl-2, which by axial ligand exchange with py
ridine complexes gives RUM(Py)(2)X-2. These complexes are the first ex
amples of Ru(II)-coordinated macrocycles containing ferrocenyl subunit
s. They have been characterized by FAB mass spectrometry, H-1 and C-13
NMR spectroscopy, cyclovoltammetry, and UV-visible absorption.
