Popis: | Reaction of N-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)pyrrole-2-aldimine (H2L) with [M(PPh3)3Cl] (M = Rh, Ir) affords complexes of type [M(PPh3)2(L)Cl]. Structures of both complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography. In both complexes, the N-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)pyrrole-2-aldimine ligand is coordinated to the metal centre, via dissociation of the acidic protons, as a dianionic tridentate N,N,O-donor. The M(L)Cl fragment constitutes an equatorial plane with the metal at the centre and the two PPh3 ligands occupying axial positions. The complexes are diamagnetic (low-spin d6, S = 0) and show intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. Cyclic voltammetry of the [M(PPh3)2(L)Cl] complexes shows reversible M(III)-M(IV) oxidation near 0·5 V vs SCE and quasi-reversible ligand-centred oxidative response near 1·0 V vs SCE. |
