|3.1 Brominated Phenanthrolines - A Gate to new Bridging Ligands|<br />

addition to the previously observed shift in the case of the tbbpy-ligand. All 26 carbon atoms<br />

could be assigned in the 13 C-NMR spectrum according to a combination of COSY, HMBC and<br />

HSQC methods. ESI MS experiments exhibited two prominent peaks at m/z = 1042.1 and 897.2<br />

which correspond to the fragments [M-PF 6 ] + and [M-2PF 6 ] + . Both isotopic patterns matched the<br />

calculated patterns for the correct sum formula and thus the desired compounds. The chemical<br />

shifts in the NMR spectrum and the observed molecular ions of Ru(phenBr) are very similar to<br />

the complex [Ru(tbbpy) 2<br />

(5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline)] (Ru(phenCl)), peviously prepared by<br />

Rau et al. [116]<br />

In addition, it was possible to obtain suitable crystals for X-ray diffraction of both compounds by<br />

recrystallization from acetone/water and acetonitrile/water respectively as depicted in figure 45.<br />

These data support the assignment of a conventional distorted octahedral coordination sphere for<br />

both complexes. The detailed discussion of the solid state structure can be found in the combined<br />

discussion of all other prepared phenBr-type complexes at the end of this section (page 69 ff.).<br />

The synthesis of the higher phenBr 2 -substituted complexes [Ru(tbbpy) 3-n (phenBr 2 ) n<br />

] 2+ (n = 2, 3)<br />

required the preparation of the [Ru(̂LL) 2 Cl 2 ]-derivative (Ru(phenBr 2 ) 2 Cl 2 ) as depicted in<br />

figure 46.<br />

Figure 46: Synthesis of the, relating to phenBr-type ligands, homoleptic ruthenium complexes.<br />

When these conditions were applied to the related phenBr 4 ligand to prepare the higher<br />

substituted complexes [Ru(tbbpy) 3-n (phenBr 4 ) n<br />

] 2+ (n = 2, 3), no product could be isolated. It has<br />

been speculated that this finding correlated to the electronic structure of phenBr 4 , i.e. a reduced<br />

electron density at the N-donor set of the phenanthroline. [127]<br />

The required precursor for this synthesis [Ru(cod)Cl 2 ] n was prepared according to literature<br />
