The unsymmetrical dinuclear ruthenium–iron complexes [(NH3)5Ru–bta–Fe(CN)5]n (where bta = benzotriazolate; n = –2, –1, 0) were prepared as solid sodium salts from [RuII(NH3)5(bta)]+ or [RuIII(NH3)5(bta)]2+ and [FeII(CN)5(H2O)]3– and characterized in aqueous solution by means of electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods. UV-vis, near-infrared, IR, and cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry data suggest that the related mixed valent species belong to a valence trapped formulation, featuring localized Ru(III) and Fe(II) oxidation states. In spite of the class II categorization in the Robin and Day scheme, this system shows a remarkable metal–metal electronic coupling, as deduced from an intense, low-energy, and very broad intervalence band in the near-IR region. In addition, the mixed valence state displays enhanced stabilization in relation to the isovalent state. The intervalence transfer properties are discussed on the basis of Hush's theory.Key words: ammineruthenium complexes, cyanoiron complexes, mixed valence, intervalence, benzotriazole, benzotriazolate.

We report the synthesis and magnetic and photomagnetic behaviour of a novel valence tautomeric cobalt complex, [Co(3,5-dbbq)2(μ-bpym)] (1) (3,5-dbbq = 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone and μ-bpym = 2,2′-bipyrimidine). The synthesis is performed by reacting Co2(CO)8 and μ-bpym in the presence of the ligand 3,5-dbbq in a mixed solvent under inert atmosphere. The magnetic behavior clearly shows the presence of electron transfer from the catecholate ligand to the cobalt center, producing valence tautomers of [CoII(SQ)2] with a transition temperature (T1/2) of 215 K. Photomagnetic studies, performed via both SQUID magnetometry and X-band electron paramagnetic resonance, show the clear presence of photoinduced valence tautomerism, at temperatures considerably higher than previous systems. A metastable charge distribution is observed, strengthening previous investigations on the character of mixed valence ligands. Entropy-driven valence tautomeric interconversion is observed, and drives the transition to the most stable charge distribution. The complex has the ability to coordinate and can be used as a photoswitchable building block, with the photomagnetic characterisation evidencing a metastable state lifetime of the photo-induced valence tautomeric process of ca. 2.9 × 104 s below 20 K. The observed yields are higher than ones in similar systems, showing that tiny changes in the molecular structures may have a huge impact.
