Double condensation of 2-acetylpyridine with 1,3-diaminobenzene-4,6-dicarboxaldehyde affords 2,7-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,8-diazaanthracene, which was subsequently oxidized to the corresponding quinone. Electrochemical studies indicate two reversible reduction processes corresponding to semiquinone and hydroquinonate formation. Electron-withdrawing pyridine groups and the nitrogen atoms make this somewhat more easily reduced than anthraquinone. This compound is redox-active and can be reduced to its radical anion, a potential spin-bearing ligand for the construction of [2 × 2] metallo-grid structures.Key words: quinone, grid, supramolecular, bistridentate, electrochemistry, metallosupramolecular chemistry.

Synthesis and characterization of a manganese complex of a new redox-active diaminocyclohexane derivative of a thiourea-based ligand with SNNNS donor atom set is reported. The molecular structure of the complex exhibits a pentadentate SNNNS ligand coordinated in the neutral form to the Mn(II) center. The coordination around the central metal is best described as distorted trigonal bipyramidal with the pyridine nitrogen and the two sulfur atoms being in the equatorial plane and the remaining two nitrogen donors occupying the apical positions of the bipyramid. Cyclic voltammetry in DMSO shows the MnII/MnIII redox couple with the oxidation peak at −0.199 V and the reduction peak at −0.587 V vs. Fc/Fc+ (scan rate 0.5 V s−1). The ligand itself possesses redox activity and exhibits prominent oxidation and reduction peaks at −1.194 and −1.481 V vs. Fc/Fc+, respectively. The results of electrochemical experiments under oxygen atmosphere suggest that upon reaction with electrochemically generated superoxide the redox-active ligand is modified causing decomposition of the complex.

A new inorganic molecule [ Co(Hbim) ( C 6 H 4 O 2)( NH 3)2]2 that can be used as a new optically durable molecular switch was theoretically designed in the framework of density functional theory. Three stable minima, belonging to 1 A g , 5 A 1, and 9 A g states, were found in the complex. Theoretically predicted infrared spectra of the complexes showed that a strong peak of NH stretching vibration is observed at 2690, 2120, and 2770 cm -1 in the 1 A g , 5 A 1, and 9 A g states, respectively. The apparent red shift of the NH stretching vibration band in the 5 A 1 state make it possible to distinguish the electronic state from others (1 A g and 9 A g ). This means that the complex can be used as a molecular level switch whose memory can be stably read by IR light without any photoreaction process; namely, without memory degradation.

The first uranium(iii) charge separated ketyl radical complex, Tp*2U(OC·Ph2), has been isolated and acts as a potent two-electron reductant with reducing equivalents derived from both uranium and the redox-active benzophenone.
