Abstract
The reaction of 1-alkyl-2-{( o-thioalkyl)phenylazo}imidazoles (SRaaiNR) ( 2a/2b) with Ru(II) has synthesized [Ru(SRaaiNR) 2](ClO 4) 2 ( 3a/3b) in 2-methoxyethanol. The reaction in methanol, however, has synthesized [Ru(SRaaiNR)( S RaaiNR)Cl](ClO 4) ( 4a/4b). The solid phase reaction of SRaaiNR and RuCl 3 on silica gel surface upon microwave irradiation has synthesized [Ru(SRaaiNR)( SaaiNR)](PF 6) ( 5a/ 5b) [SRaaiNR represents tridentate N, N′,S-chelator; S RaaiNR is N, N′-bidentate chelator where S does not coordinate and SaaiNR refers N, N′, S-chelator where S refers to thiolato binding]. The structural characterization of [Ru(SEtaaiNEt)( S EtaaiNEt)Cl](ClO 4) ( 4b) and [Ru(SEtaaiNEt)(SaaiNEt)](PF 6) (5b) has been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The IR, UV–Vis, and 1H NMR spectral data also support the stereochemistry of the complexes. The complexes show metal oxidation, Ru(III)/Ru(II), and ligand reductions (azo/azo −, azo −/azo ). The molecular orbital diagram has been drawn by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Normal mode of analysis has been performed to correlate calculated and experimental frequencies of representative complexes. The electronic movement and assignment of electronic spectra have been carried out by TDDFT calculation both in gas and acetonitrile phase.
