Popis: A series of heterobimetallic wire-like organometallic complexes [(tpy-C6H4-R)(PPh3)2Ru–C≡C–Fc]+ (tpy-C6H4-R = 4′-(aryl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridyl, Fc = [(η5-Cp)2Fe], R = -H, -Me, -F, -NMe2 in complexes 5–8, respectively) featuring ferrocenyl and 4′-(aryl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridyl ruthenium(II) complexes as redox active metal termini, have been synthesized. Various spectroscopic tools, such as multinuclear NMR, IR spectra, HRMS, CHN analyses, and single crystal X-ray crystallography have been utilized to characterize the heterobimetallic complexes. The electrochemical and UV–vis–NIR spectroscopic studies have been investigated to evaluate the electronic delocalization across the molecular backbones of the Ru(II)–Fe(II) heterobinuclear organometallic dyads. Electrochemical studies reveal two well-separated reversible redox waves as a result of successive oxidation of the ferrocenyl and Ru(II) redox centers. The spin density distribution analyses reveal that the initial oxidation process is associated with the Fe...
