Abstract

An electrochemical study of several N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato (Et₂dtc) complexes of Ru(II), Ru(III), and Ru(IV) was carried out. [(CO)Ru(dtc)₂]₂. Ru(dtc)₃, and ClRu(dtc)₃ were studied by dc, ac, and cyclic voltammetric techniques in the solvents acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, and methylene chloride. The results indicate that the bimetallic complexes α- and β-[Ru₂(dtc)₅]⁺ are not formed as primary electrochemical oxidation products of Ru(dtc)₃ or reduction products of ClRu(dtc)₃. The electrochemical oxidation product of Ru(dtc)₃ in CH₃CN is [(CH₃CN)Ru(dtc)₃]⁺, and the metal-containing reduction product of ClRu(dtc)₃, which exists as [(CH₃CN)Ru(dtc)₃]⁺Cl^- in CH₃CN, is Ru(dtc)₃. In propylene carbonate, ClRu(dtc)₃ is undissociated and exhibits a one-electron oxidation (E_1/2 = 0.97 V) and a two-electron reduction (E_1/2 = -0.77 V) to Ru(dtc)₃ ^-. [(CO)Ru(dtc)₂]₂ shows an irreversible one-electron oxidation with E_1/2 = 0.86 V vs. SCE in CH₂Cl₂. The electrolysis products of these complexes are compared to chemical redox products and redox mechanisms are discussed. Various redox reactions of the mixed-valence complexes Ru₂(dtc)₅, Ru(dtc)₅ ⁺, ClRu(dtc)₃, and Ru(dtc)₃ have been examined. Oxidation and isomerization reactions of Ru(dtc)₃ and α-[Ru₂(dtc)₅]⁺ using BF₃ gas have been studied in detail, and reaction mechanisms are proposed. The ¹NMR spectra of α- and β-[Ru₂(Me₂dtc)₅]⁺ have been assigned by variable-temperature and ligand-exchange studies.
