Three tris-bidentate cyclometalated ruthenium complexes with a di(p-anisyl)amino [5(PF6)], di(p-tolyl)amino [6(PF6)], or di(p-chlorophenyl)amino [7(PF6)] substituent on the cyclometalating phenyl ring have been prepared, where the amine nitrogen is in the meta position to the cyclometalated site (bridged through the phen-1,3-diyl unit). The structure of 6(PF6) has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Two consecutive redox waves are evident at +0.48 and +0.87 V versus Ag/AgCl for 5(PF6), +0.51 and +1.02 V for 6(PF 6), and +0.53 and +1.18 V for 7(PF6), respectively. The first wave is assigned to the Ru(II/III) process, and the second wave is attributed to the N(0/+) process. After one-electron oxidation using SbCl 5, these complexes display distinct absorptions in the near-infrared region, which are assigned to the nitrogen-to-ruthenium intervalence charge-transfer (ICVT) transitions. The energies of the IVCT transitions vary linearly versus the potential splitting of the Ru(II/III) and N(0/+) process. The charge-transfer direction in these complexes is reversed with respect to a previously reported ruthenium-amine system where the amine nitrogen is in the para position to the cyclometalated site (bridged through the phen-1,4-diyl unit).
