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.

The degree of delocalization in the symmetrical complexes [{Ru(bpy)2}2(μ-dpb′)]5+ and [{Ru(bpy)2}2(μ-dpb)]5+ (dpb = 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,4-benzoquinoxaline; dpb′ = dipyrido(2,3-a;3′,2′-c)benzophenazine; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) is diminished by the substitution of the terminal bpy ligands at one end of the complex. The results of a classical analysis for the diastereoisomeric forms of the series of complexes [{Ru(bpy)2}(μ-BL){Ru(pp)2}]5+ (pp = bpy, Me2bpy (4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine), Me4bpy (4,4′,5,5′-tetramethyl-2,2′-bipyridine)) indicate that a greater degree of ground-state delocalization exists in the complexes incorporating the bridging ligand dpb′ compared with the dpb analogue. A two-state analysis in which ΔE 0 (the redox asymmetry) is varied at constant H ab (the electronic coupling) and λ (the reorganizational energy) does not adequately describe the properties of the systems due to the importance of a third electronic state corresponding to the bridging ligand.
