2N,N')chlorido[4'-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-
3N,N',N'']ruthenium(II) hexafluoridophosphate acetonitrile monosolvateIn the title compound, [RuCl(C10H8N2)(C23H19N3O2)]PF6·CH3CN, the ligand environment about the RuII atom is distorted octahedral, with the substituted terpyridyl ligand coordinated in a meridional fashion, the bipyridyl ligand coordinated in a cis fashion and the Cl atom trans to one of the bipyridyl N atoms. The Ru-N distances are in the range 2.036 (2)-2.084 (2) Å with the exception of the central Ru-N bond from the terpyridyl ligand, which is shorter [1.9503 (19) Å], as expected. The pendant dimethoxyphenyl substituent is not coplanar with the terpyridyl unit; the dihedral angle between the central pyridyl ring and the benzene ring is 46.72 (11)°. The anion is disordered equally over two positions around an F-P-F bond axis.
The ligand 4'-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (tpyOMe) was prepared and purified as described by Storrier et al. (1995 and 1998). The title compound was prepared following a procedure similar to that for the synthesis of [RuCl(bpy)(tpy)]PF6 (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) (Takeuchi et al., 1984). X-ray quality crystals were grown by the diffusion of diethyl ether into an acetonitrile solution of the complex over a week.
Aromatic H atoms were fixed at C—H distances of 0.95 Å and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Methyl H atoms were placed with idealized threefold symmetry and fixed C—H distances of 0.98 Å, and they were refined in a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). Four F atoms in equatorial positions of the counter anion are disordered and were refined with the occupancy of all atoms fixed at 0.5.

Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt). |

There have been numerous reports of ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes. In particular, a series of mononuclear ruthenium(II) complexes with both 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (tpy) and bidentate pyridyl ligands (NN) has exhibited the catalytic activity toward water oxidation (Tseng et al., 2008). We newly investigated the synthesis of ruthenium complexes bearing the substituted terpyridyl ligand because the absorption energies of the MLCT bands and the redox potentials of the complexes described above were consistent with their structures.
The ligand environment about the Ru atom is distorted octahedral, with the substituted terpyridyl ligand coordinated in a meridional fashion, the bipyridyl ligand coordinated in a cis fashion and the Cl atom trans to one of the bipyridyl N atoms (Fig. 1). The Ru—N distances are in the range of 2.036 (2)–2.084 (2) Å with the exception of the central Ru—N bond of the terpyridyl ligand, which is shorter [1.9503 (19) Å] as expected (Table 1). The Ru—Cl distance of 2.4096 (8) Å observed in this structure is similar to those found in other ruthenium(II)-terpyridine- chlorido complexes (Spek et al., 1994; Fujihara et al., 2003; Tseng et al., 2008). The pendant dimethoxyphenyl substituent is not coplanar with the terpyridyl moiety; the dihedral angle between the central pyridyl and the dimethoxyphenyl ring is 46.72 (11)°. This result is essentially comparable to that found for the free ligand (50.2°) (Storrier et al., 1998).
