A series of binuclear ruthenium complexes [RuCl(CO)(PMe3) 3]2(μ-CH=CH-Ar-CH=CH) (Ar = C6H 2(OR)2-2,5; R = CH3 (4a), nC 4H9 (4b), nC6H13 (4c), nC8H17 (4d), nC10H21 (4e), nC12H25 (4f), nC 14H29 (4g)), [RuCl(CO)(PMe3)3] 2(μ-CH=CH-Ar-≡-Ar-CH=CH) (Ar = C6H 2(R)2-2,5; R = OCH3 (10a), OnC 8H17 (10b), H (10c)), and [RuCl(CO)(PMe3) 3]2Cu-CH=CH-Ar-≡-Ar-≡-ArCH=CH) (Ar = C 6H2(R)2-2,5; R = OCH3 (13a), O nC8H17 (13b), H (13c)) have been synthesized. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, and UV/vis spectrophotometry. The structures of 4b and 4d have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Electrochemical studies have shown that long carbon chains attached to the bridges of the complexes facilitate the stability of mixed-valence bimetallic ruthenium complexes.
