Synthesis, characterization and properties of oxo-bridged diruthenium(III) complexes with thiocyanato and cyanato ligands

摘要

Graphical abstractOxo-bridged diruthenium(III) complexes with triatomic anion ligands SCN?and OCN?were prepared. The electronic absorption and electrochemical properties were studied and interpreted with the aid of theoretical calculations. The visible absorption bands were attributed to mainly the metal-to-metal charge transfer (MMCT) transitions, on which the solvent effect was strong.Display OmittedHighlights?Preparation and characterization of oxo-bridged diruthenium complexes.?Electronic absorption properties.?Redox chemistry.?Theoretical investigation.Abstract
