Abstract
A series of systematically-varied 'rigid-rod' octahedral ruthenium acetylide complexes, bearing the strong acceptor substituent -NO2, of general formula trans-[Ru(C≡CC6H4R-4)2(dppm)2] (R = NO2, C6H4NO2-4, C6H4CH=CHC6H4NO2-4, (E)) has been synthesized. X-ray structural studies of trans-[Ru(C≡CC6H4R-4)2(dppm)2] (R = NO2, C6H4NO2-4) confirm the trans-disposed geometry of the acetylide ligands and, for the latter, non-planarity of the biphenylene groups. The mixed acetylide 'rigid-rod' complex trans-[Ru(C≡CPh)(C≡CC6H4NO2-4)(dppm)2] has also been prepared. Semiempirical calculations employing ZINDO were performed on the mixed-acetylide complex, the results suggesting that the effect of trans-disposed ligands on the molecular quadratic hyperpolarizability β is not additive.
