The NNS chelating donor N-2-mercaptophenyl-(2′-pyridyl)methylenimine (PabtH) reacted with Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 to give a series of ruthenium(II) complexes Ru(Pabt) (PPh3)X {X = Cl(1), Br(3)}, Ru(Pabt) (PPh3)2Cl (2), [Ru(Pabt) (PPh3)L]ClO4 {L = 1-Meimz (2a), 2-Meimz (1c)}, [Ru(Pabt) (PPh3) (L′)2]ClO4 {L′ = 1-Meimz (1a), imz (1b), H2O (1f)} and [Ru(Pabt) (PPh3) (L-L)]ClO4 {L-L = bpy (1d), Phen (1e); bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline}. They have been characterized using IR, UV-vis, {1H and 31P} NMR, EPR, magnetic susceptibility at room temperature, measurement of molecular weight, molecular conductance in solution and elemental analysis. The stabilisation of the pentacoordinated 16-electron complexes (1, 3, 1c and 2a) is attributed to pπ donation by the sulfur atom of the ligand Pabt. Square pyramidal structure is proposed for these pentacoordinated complexes. Electron transfer behaviour of all the complexes has been explored by cyclic voltammetry in CH2Cl2 and CH3CN using TEAP as the supporting electrolyte. The five-coordinated complexes display cathodically shifted oxidation waves in CH2Cl2, when TEACl was used as supporting electrolyte. Linear correlation of electrochemical data in terms of Lever's electrochemical parameter EL and the energy of metal to ligand charge transfer band has been attempted.
