Abstract
- The [Ru(II)–NO+] group affects the structure and chemical reactivity of nitrosylruthenium(II) complexes. A characteristic infrared absorption band due to the nitrosyl (NO) stretching motion is shown in the frequency region 1800–1900 cm–1. In this work, linear infrared (IR) and nonlinear IR methods, including pump–probe and two-dimensional (2D) IR, were utilized to study the structures and dynamics of two isomeric nitrosylruthenium complexes [Ru(OAc)(2mqn)2NO] (H2mqn = 2-methyl-8-quinolinol) in cis and trans isomeric configurations in a weak polar solvent (CDCl3). Using the NO stretching mode as a vibrational probe, information about local structural dynamics of the Ru complex as well as solvent fluctuation dynamics was obtained. In particular, a “structured” solvent environment is believed to form in the vicinity of the NO group in the case of the cis isomer with the aid of a neighboring OAc ligand, which is the reason for more efficient vibrational relaxation but more inhomogeneously distributed solvent ...
