Abstract
ABSTRACT The reactions of fac(S)-[M(aet)3] (M = RhIII, IrIII; aet = 2-aminoethanethiolate) with RuCl3 · 3H2 O in water gave trinuclear complexes, ΔΛ-, ΔΔ/ΛΛ-[Ru{Rh(aet)3}2]3+ ( 1a, 1b ) and ΔΛ-, ΔΔ/ΛΛ-[Ru{Ir(aet)3}2]3+ ( 2a, 2b ). The crystal structure of 2a (NO3)3 · 3H2 O revealed that the central RuIII ion is coordinated by six S atoms from two fac(S)-[Ir(aet)3] units in an octahedral geometry, forming a linear-type S-bridged trinuclear structure. It was found that the UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectral patterns of all complexes depend upon the terminal fac(S)-[M(aet)3] units. In the electro- and spectroelectrochemistry of these complexes, the Ir trinuclear complex showed a reversible [Ru{Ir(aet)3}2]3+/4+ redox process.
