Abstract

Coordination compounds [Ru(NO)Ln] containing an electro-active metal and potentially non-innocent ligands NO (and L) can have ground state electronic structures formulated as RuIII(NO+) = {RuNO}5, RuII(NO+) = {RuNO}6, RuII(NO˙) = {RuNO}7 or RuII(NO−) = {RuNO}8. The neighbouring states of the {RuNO}6 systems can be accessed by spectroelectrochemical methods or through chemical reactions. The co-ligands Ln affect the electronic structures of the quite variable {RuNO}6 examples, in contrast to the more invariant {RuNO}7 species. Potential electro-active co-ligands L such as porphyrins or quinones provide additional alternatives for the electronic structures.
