The 1:2 molecular complexes formed from 1,4-phenylenebis(dimethylphosphane) and boranes, trialkyl-aluminum and -gallium have been reduced by potassium in THF in the presence of a K+- complexing crown ether. The bis(borane) complex anion radicals proved to be quite persistent, whereas corresponding aluminum radical complexes could only be observed below 240 K. The bis(trimethylgallium) complex gave gallium metal on reduction with potassium. An ESR spectroscopic comparison with the anion radicals of the free ligand, of corresponding chalcogenides, imines and phosphonium salts demonstrates negligible effects of P-complexation on the π spin distribution but high sensitivity of the 31P coupling constant towards coordination of electrophiles at the basic P(III) centers
Coordination of substitutionally inert [Ru(bpy)2]2+ fragments (bpy: 2,2′-bipyridine) to the a-iminoketone chelate ligands pyrazine-2-dimethylcarboxamide (4) and 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (5) yields the complexes [(N,O-4)Ru(bpy)2]2⊕, [(O,O′-5⊖)Ru(bpy)2]⊕ and {(N,O; N′,O′-5)[Ru(bpy)2]2}4⊕ which exhibit a rich electrochemistry. The distinctly different electronic structures of the complexes are evident from the ESR behaviour of paramagnetic intermediates: N.O-coordinated complexes have the unpaired electron residing in the ligand n system upon reduction, albeit with g<2 for the binuclear complex of 5. The paramagnetic O,O′-coordinated mononuclear complex with 5 has its redox potentials shifted positively relative to that of the binuclear system. These results are particularly noteworthy because 4 and 5 can be regarded as model compounds for the flavin and methoxatin dehydrogenase cofactors.
