Reaction of the metal-metal bonded complex Ru-2(O2CCH3)(4)Cl with 2-anilino-4-methylpyridine leads to the (3,1) isomer of the diruthenium(III, II) complex Ru-2(ap-4-Me)(4)Cl, 1 while the same reaction with 2-anilino-6-methylpyridine gives the monoruthenium(III) derivative Ru(ap-6-Me)(3), 2. Both compounds were examined as to their structural, electrochemical, and UV-visible properties, and the data were then compared to that previously reported for (4,0) Ru-2(2-Meap)(4)Cl and other (3,1) isomers of Ru-2(L)(4)Cl with similar anionic bridging ligands. ESR spectroscopy indicates that the monoruthenium derivative 2 contains low-spin Ru(III), and the presence of a single ruthenium atom is confirmed by an X-ray structure of the compound. The combined electrochemical and UV-vis spectroelectrochemical data indicate that the diruthenium complex 1 is easily converted to its Ru-2(4+) and Ru-2(6+) forms upon reduction or oxidation by one electron while the monoruthenium derivative 2 also undergoes metal-centered redox processes to give Ru-II and Ru-IV complexes under the same solution conditions. The reactivity of 1 with CO and CN- was also examined.
