- Abstract
Abstract: Two novel bis(triazolyl)carbazole ligands Hbtc1 (3,6‐di(<italic>tert</italic>‐butyl)‐1,8‐bis[(1‐(3,5‐di(<italic>tert</italic>‐butyl)phenyl)‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)]‐9<italic>H</italic>‐carbazole) and Hbtc2 (3,6‐di(<italic>tert</italic>‐butyl)‐1,8‐bis[(4‐(3,5‐di(<italic>tert</italic>‐butyl)phenyl)‐1,2,3‐triazol‐1‐yl)]‐9<italic>H</italic>‐carbazole), differing in the regiochemistry of triazole attachment, have been synthesized by Cu‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition, the so‐called “click‐reactions”. Metalation with Ru, Zn, and Ni precursors led to the formation of M(btc)2 complexes (M=Ru, Zn, Ni), with two deprotonated ligands coordinating to the metal center in tridentate fashion, forming almost perfectly octahedral coordination spheres. The redox properties of M(btc)2 complexes have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, UV/Vis spectroscopy, spectroelectrochemistry, and chemically. The CV of the ruthenium complexes revealed three quasi‐reversible one‐electron oxidation processes, one assigned as the RuII/III couple and two originating from ligand‐based oxidations. The CVs of both Zn and Ni complexes contained only two oxidation waves corresponding to the oxidation of the two ligands. The oxidation potentials of complexes derived from Hbtc1 ligands were found to be 300–400 mV lower than those of the corresponding complexes derived from Hbtc2, reflecting the significant difference in donation through the N(2) or N(3) atom of the triazole moiety.
