Abstract

The complexes [Fe{η-C ₅ H ₄ -(E)-CH= CH-4-C ₆ H ₄ C≡CX} ₂ ] [X=SiMe ₃ (1), H (2), Au(PCy ₃ ) (3), Au(PPh ₃ ) (4), Au(PMe ₃ ) (5), RuCl(dppm) ₂ (7), RuCl(dppe) ₂ (8)] and [Fe{η-C ₅ H ₄ -(E)-CH= CH-4-C ₆ H ₄ CH≡CRuCl} (dppm) ₂ } ₂ ](PF ₆ ) ₂ (6) have been prepared and the identities of 1 and 7 confirmed by single-crystal X-ray structural studies. Complexes 1-8 exhibit reversible oxidation waves in their cyclic voltammograms attributed to the Fe ^II/III couple of the ferrocenyl groups, 6-8 also showing reversible (7, 8) or nonreversible (6) processes attributed to Ru-centered oxidation. Cubic nonlinearities at 800 nm by the Z-scan method are low for 1-5; in contrast, complexes 6 and 7 exhibit large negative γ _real and large γ _imag values. A factor of 4 difference in γ and two-photon absorption cross-section σ ₂ values for 6 and 7 suggest that they have potential as protically switchable NLO materials.
