PG - 2788-97 LID - 10.1039/c2dt11805j [doi] AB - We report the synthesis of free 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene (tape). Tape was obtained from 1,1'-bis-2,7-naphthyridine by potassium promoted cyclization followed by oxidation with air. Mono- and dinuclear ruthenium(II) 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene complexes of the general formulas [Ru(L-L)(2)(tape)](PF(6))(2), [1](PF(6))(2)-[5](PF(6))(2), and [Ru(L-L)(2)(2)(mu-tape)](PF(6))(4), [6](PF(6))(4)-[10](PF(6))(4), withL-L = phen, bpy, dmbpy (4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), dtbbpy (4,4'-ditertbutyl-2,2'-bipyridine) and tmbpy (4,4'5,5'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), respectively, were synthesized. The X-ray structures of tape.2CHCl(3) and the mononuclear complexes [Ru(bpy)(2)(tape)](PF(6))(2).0.5CH(3)CN.0.5toluene, [Ru(dmbpy)(2)(tape)](PF(6))(2).2toluene and [Ru(dtbbpy)(2)(tape)](PF(6))(2).3acetone.0.5H(2)O were solved. The UV-vis absorption spectra and the electrochemical behavior of the ruthenium(ii) tape complexes were explored and compared with the data of the analogous dibenzoeilatin (dbneil), 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpym) and tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c:3'',2''-h:2''',3'''-j]phenazin (tpphz) species.
