Abstract: A series of trans-heteroleptic paddlewheel-type diruthenium(II,II) complexes [Ru2(2,6-(CF3)2PhCO2)2(p-RPhCO2)2(THF)2] was synthesized by substituting para-R-substituted benzoate ligands (p-RPhCO2−, R = CF3, Cl, F, H, Ph, Me, MeO, OH) in [Ru2(p-RPhCO2)4(THF)2] with 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (2,6-(CF3)2PhCO2−). The redox potential (E1/2)… read more here.
