The ruthenium dinuclear complexes with end-caping of pyridinedicarboxylate complexes of terpyridine (2,2':6',2'-terpyridine) and (tBu)3-terpyridine (4,4¡¦,4¡¦¡¦-tri-tert-butyl-2,2¡¦:6¡¦,2¡¦¡¦-terpyridine) bridging with carbon-rich alkynyl group are reported. These novel complexes are characterized by NMR, MALDI-MS, FT-IR, UV, and electrochemistry. In comparison with the system of tpy-Ru-tpy-(¡Ý)n-tpy-Ru-tpy, we found some interesting characteristics in the studies of electronic spectra and electrochemical measurements. Furthermore, one reversible and one irreversible electrochemical redox waves in positive wave were observed (E1/2 at 0.59 and 1.15 V (irrev.) for the complex with ethynyl spacer and E1/2 at 0.62 and 1.10 V (irrev.) for the complex with butynyl spacer), indicating a strong electronic interaction between two Ru metal centers. However, in the tpy-Ru-tpy-(¡Ý)n-tpy-Ru-tpy system, only one electrochemical redox wave at ~1.3 V was found. From the electronic and electrochemical analysis , the electronic interaction between two metal centers decreases as the number of alkynyl group increases.
