5,7,12,14-Tetraazapentacene-6,13-quinone (L) reacts with 2 equiv of [Ru(acac)(CHCN)] to form two linkage isomeric bis(chelate) compounds, [{Ru(acac)}(μ-L)], blue 1, with 5,6;12,13 coordination and violet 2 with 5,6;13,14 coordination. The linkage isomers could be separated, structurally characterized in crystals as rac diastereomers (ΔΔ/ΛΛ), and studied by voltammetry (CV, DPV), EPR, and UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry (meso-1, rac-2). DFT and TD-DFT calculations support the structural and spectroscopic results and suggest a slight energy preference (ΔE = 263 cm) for the rac-isomer 1 as compared to 2. Starting from the Ru-(μ-L)-Ru configurations of 1 and 2 with low-lying metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorptions, the compounds undergo two reversible one-electron oxidation steps with open-shell intermediates 1 (K = 4 × 10) and 2 (K = 6 × 10). Both monocations display metal-centered spin according to EPR, but the DFT-calculated spin densities suggest a Ru(μ-L)Ru three-spin situation with opposite spin density at the bridging ligand for the meso form of 1, estimated to lie 1887 cm lower in energy than rac-1, which is calculated with a Class II mixed-valent situation Ru-(μ-L)-Ru. A three-spin arrangement Ru-(μ-L)-Ru with negative spin density at one metal site is suggested by DFT for rac-2 which is more stable by ΔE = 890 cm than rac-1. Reduction of 1 or 2 (K = 10-10) occurs mainly at the central bridging ligand with notable contributions (30%) from the metals in 1 and 2. The mixed-valent Ru(μ-L)Ru versus radical-bridged Ru(μ-L)Ru alternative is discussed comprehensively in comparison with related valence-ambiguous cases.
