Abstract

The synthesis of a series of metal mono-acetylides trans-[(dppe)₂Ru(Cl)(C≡C-R)] (R = C₆H₄-p-C₆H₅, C₆H₄-p-CH₃, C₆H₄-p-NO₂, C₆H₃-o-CH₃-p-NO₂, dppe = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂), and unsymmetrical metal bis-acetylides trans-[(dppm)₂M(C≡C-R)(C≡C-R′)]; (M = Ru, Os; R = C₆H₄-p-NO₂, R′ = C₆H₅, C₆H₄-p-CH₃; R = C₆H₅, R′ = C₆H₄-p-C₆H₃) using a variety of σ-acetylide coupling reactions is reported. Three compounds have been structurally characterised, including the unsymmetrical trans-[(dppm)₂Os(C≡C-R)(C≡C-R′)] (R = C₆H₄-p-CH₃, R′ = C₆H₄-p-NO₂] which shows the 'rigid-rod' nature of the acetylide-metal-acetylide linkage. The electrochemistry of symmetrical and unsymmetrical Ru(II) complexes demonstrates the role of the acetylide and the auxiliary ligands in determining the ease of oxidation at the metal centre whilst UV-vis spectral changes illustrate the influence of electron-withdrawing and -donating ligands.
