The solution [OsII(H3tcterpy)(Cl)3](TBA) in n-butanol prepared before was reacted with a stoichiometric amount of (bpyq) for 25h at reflux. The solution was rotary evaporated to dryness. The solid was then dissolved in water at pH 12 by addition of TBAOH and re-precipitated at pH 2 by addition of HPF6. The precipitate was filtered, washed with dichloromethane and dried. The complex was further purified on Sephadex LH 20 column by using water at pH 7 as eluant and re-precipitated at pH 2 with HPF6. H-NMR of the anionic complex [Os(tcterpy)(bpyq)Cl](TBA)2 (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ ppm: 6.88 (1H, d,H7a), 7.25 (1H,t,H8a), 7.44 (1H, t,H9a), 7.6 (2H, d,H5,5"), 7.66 (2H, d,H6,6"), 7.78 (1H, d,H10a), 7.96 (1H, t,H3a), 8.17 (2H, m,H4a,5a), 8.67 (1H, d,H6a) 8.98 (2H, s,H3,3"), 9.12 (1H, d,H2a), 9.2 (2H, s,H3',5'), 10.26 (1H, d,H1a). Elemental analysis of [OsII(H3tcterpy)(bpyq)(Cl)](PF6), OsC32N5H21O6ClPF6: calculated: C=40.79%, N=7.43%, H=2.25%; found: C=40.35%, N=7.13%, H=2.40% Cyclic voltammetry (glassy carbon working electrode, Pt counter electrode, SCE reference electrode, methanol solvent, 0.1M TBAPF6 inert electrolyte) showed peaks at 1.1 V and 1.24 V versus SCE, corresponding to irreversible reduction of ligands, and reversible peak with E½ at 0.65 V versus SCE, corresponding to the OsII/OsIII transition. UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy from 200 to 1100nm (ethanolic solutions) gives absorption peaks at 270, 290, 325, 380, 450, 530, 630 and 830 nm with extinction coefficients higher than 1000 m-1cm-1. |
