Electrochemical investigations on divalent transition metal complexes with a conjugated linear tripyrrole ligand, namely 3,4,8,9,13, are reported. This tripyrrin ligand behaves as a tridentate monoanionic ligand and forms a series of neutral metal complexes of the type TrpyMX, where M = Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) Co(II) or Pd(II) and X is a chloride anion (Cl -). The studied nickel, cobalt and zinc complexes undergo respectively three and two ligand-centered reversible one-electron reductions and a reversible ligand-centered one-electron oxidation. Only irreversible electron transfers are observed for TrpyPdCl, due to the instability of the reduced complex. TrpyCoCl does not undergo any metal-centered electron transfer which is unexpected compared to related complexes. The copper(II) complex shows an additional reduction step occurring on the metal, generating a stable copper(I) complex. A comparison of the redox behavior of tripyrrin complexes with porphyrins and linear tetrapyrrolic complexes, namely bidipyrrins, clearly indicates that the observed redox behavior of tripyrrin complexes is mainly metal dependent. The observed HOMO-LUMO gap in the studied series of tripyrrins is rather small (about 1.70 V) compared to porphyrins (2.25 V), but it is close to bidipyrrins (1.60 V).
