Abstrakt: The chemistry of the ligand 1, 2,6-bisimidazol-2-ylpyridine with manganese, cobalt, nickel and ruthenium has been investigated. The ligand binds as a meridional tridentate ligand as shown by the crystal structures of Mn12CF3SO32·Et2O and Ru12PF62·2CH3CN·H2O. The coordinated ligand is deprotonated in mildly basic solution, and this leads to a drop in the metal MiiiMii reduction potential for cobalt and ruthenium of roughly 1.3 V. The crystal structure of Na2PPNCo1− 2H22OH·MeOH·2H2O confirms the deprotonation and shows sodium to bind to the deprotonated nitrogen atoms. No stabilisation of the Miii oxidation state was observed for nickel and manganese.
