The syntheses and characterization of the (4,0), (3,1), and (2,2) trans isomers of Ru2(F5ap)4Cl and Ru2(F5ap)4- (C≡CC6H5)2 are reported where F5ap is the 2-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoroanilino)pyridinate anion. The (4,0), (3,1), and (2,2) trans isomers of Ru2 (F5ap)4Cl were separated on a silica gel column following the reaction between Ru2(CH3COO)4Cl and molten HF5ap under argon. The (4,0), (3,1), and (2,2) trans isomers of Ru2(F5ap)4(C≡CC6H 5)2 were obtained by reaction of their respective isomer of Ru2(F5ap)4Cl with LiC≡CC6H5) in THF at room temperature. The three isomers of Ru2(F5ap)4Cl and Ru2(F5ap)4(C≡CC6H 5)2 were characterized by 1H and 19F NMR, ESR, and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and electrochemistry. Each RuIIRuIII isomer of Ru2(F5-ap)4Cl is paramagnetic and undergoes two oxidations and one reduction in CH2Cl2, 0.1 M TBAP while each RuIII2 isomer of Ru2(F5ap)4(C≡CC6H 5)2 is diamagnetic and undergoes one oxidation and two reductions under the same solution conditions. All of the redox processes are reversible and involve metal-centered one-electron transfers. The singly reduced products of the (4,0), (3,1), and (2,2) trans isomers of Ru2(F5ap)4(C≡CC6H 5)2 were electrogenerated and display ESR signals consistent with the presence of a single unpaired electron. Molecular structures of the three isomers of Ru2(F5ap)4(C≡CC6H 5)2 were also determined. The (4,0) isomer crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 23.436(6) ?, b = 20.640(6) ?, c = 23.504(6) ?, β= 105.82(2)°, and Z = 8, while the (3,1) isomer crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 15,621(3) ?, b = 16.427(3) ?, c = 21.166(5) ?, β = 93.91(2)°, and Z = 4. The (2,2) trans isomer crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 12.819(5) ?, b = 13.390(4) ?, c = 17.827(5) ?, α = 85.04(2)°, β= 72.66(2)°, γ = 68.47-(2)°, and Z = 2. The average Ru-Ru bond distances in the (4,0), (3,1), and (2,2) trans isomers of Ru2(F5ap)4- (C≡CC6H5)2 are 2.450(1), 2.475(1), and 2.473(1) ?, respectively.
