An aqua-Ru-quinone complex, [Ru(trpy)(Q)(OH2)]2+ (trpy=2,2’: 6’,2”-terpyridine, Q=3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone, or 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone) dissociates two protons in a stepwise fashion. The pKavalues of [Ru(trpy)(Q)(OH2)]+ and [Ru(trpy)(Q)(OH)]+ are 5.5 and 10.5, respectively. Proton dissociation of the latter is coupled with electron transfer from the resultant O2− to Q to produce an unusual O-radical complex, [Ru(trpy)(Sq)(O−·)]0 (Sq=3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzosemiquinone). Dissociation of an amino proton of analogous [Ru(trpy)(Q)(NH3)]2+ (pKa6.2) results in similar intramolecular electron transfer from NH2 to Q with generating an N-radical complex, [Ru(trpy)(Sq)(NH2·)]+. One-electron oxidation of [Ru(trpy)(Sq)(NH2·)]2+ produces [Ru(trpy)(Q)(NH2·)]2+, which reacts with alcohols to give the correspondent aldehyde or ketone with regeneration of [Ru(trpy)(Sq)(NH3)]+. On the other hand, two electron oxidation of [Ru(trpy)(Sq)(O−·)]0 generates a catalytic ability to oxidize alcohols. The catalytic activity of the O-radical complex is less than that of N-radical one. Dinuclear Ru complexes bridged with an anthracene framework, [Ru2(btpyan)(Q)2(OH)2]2+ and [Ru2(btpyan)(bpy)2(OH)2]2+ (btpyan=1,8-bis(2,2’: 6’,2”-terpyrid-4’-yl)anthracene) catalyze four-electron oxidation of water. The catalytic activity for O2 production by [Ru2(btpyan)(Q)2(OH)2]2+ is much higher than [Ru2(btpyan)(bpy)2(OH)2]2+. Proton dissociation of [Ru2(btpyan)(Q)2(OH)2]2+ spontaneously produces [Ru2(btpyan)(Sq)2(O−·)2]0, and the subsequent oxidation of the two Ru(Sq)(O−·) groups induces O-O bond formation through the coupling reaction of two O-radicals. On the other hand, deprotonation of [Ru2(btpyan)(bpy)2(OH)2]2+ is caused by oxidation of [Ru2(btpyan)(bpy)2(OH)2]2+, and four electron oxidation affords [RuIV2(btpyan)(bpy)2(=O)2]4+ without passing through an O-radical complex. High catalytic activity of [Ru2(btpyan)(Q)2(OH)2]2+ compared with [Ru2(btpyan)(bpy)2(OH)2]2+ as to the O2 evolution is associated with the easiness of the O-O bond formation by the coupling reaction of two Ru-O· radicals compared with that of two RuIV=O groups. A new pbn (pbn=2-pyridylbenzo[b]-1,5-naphthyridine) ligand was designed to simulate the NAD+/NADH redox reaction as a possible renewable hydride donor. A series of [Ru(bpy)3−n(pbn)n]2+ (n=1, 2, 3) complexes undergoes photo-induced two-(n=1), four-(n=2), and six-electron reductions (n=3) under irradiation of visible light in the presence of N(CH2CH2OH)3.
