    Notes: For the first time, the crystal structure of a RuII binaphthyridine complex and that of its corresponding oneelectron reduced product are reported. Reductive electrocrystallization of [Ru-(binap-2)3](PF6)2 (1, where binap-2 = 3,3′-dimethylene -2,2′ - bi [1, 8] naphthyridine) from an acetonitrile solution resulted in the formation of dark blue crystals of the one-electron reduction product, [Ru-(binap-2)3](PF6) (2) having one fewer PF-6 per formula unit. X-ray analysis reveals that the reduced complex retains the three-ligand d6 coordination around the central RuII. Based on electrostatic considerations and the positions of the PF-6 anions in the lattice, the added electron appears to be delocalized over two nearly equivalent binap-2 ligands in 2, in marked contrast to monoreduced and electrocrystallized [Na ⊂ (trisbipyridyl cryptand)]0, in which the electron is localized on only one of the bipyridyl subunits. However, based on the available data, alternative interpretations are possible. The crystal packing diagram of 2 shows several intermolecular π-π interactions, with 12 of these being shorter than 3.5 Å. In contrast, there are no intermolecular distances shorter than 3.5 Å in the crystals of 1. Two-probe electrical conductivity measurements under anaerobic conditions indicate that the crystals of 2 behave as semiconductors with a band gap of 0.53 eV, while those of the unreduced compound are insulating. This represents the first molecular semiconducting material with the potential for bidimensional behavior of its kind.

    Notes: Novel methyl complexes [Pd(Me)(N-N-N)]X (N-N-N = flexible or rigid terdentate nitrogen ligand, X = Cl, SO3CF3, BAr′4) have been synthesized and fully characterized. All complexes readily underwent insertion of carbon monoxide resulting in the quantitative formation of complexes [Pd{C(O)Me}(N-N-N)]X [X = Cl (1d-6d), BAr′4 (1e-6e)]. Subsequently, complexes 2e-6e underwent quantitative insertion of norbornadiene, resulting in complexes [Pd{C7H8C(O)Me}(N-N-N)]BAr′4 (2f-6f). Unexpectedly, these complexes, including even those containing rigid terdentate nitrogen ligands, possess a structure in which the nitrogen ligand is coordinated in a bidentate fashion. A kinetic study of the reaction of norbornadiene with complexes 1e-6e revealed that the reactivity of complexes 1e-6e toward norbornadiene increases with increasing rigidity of the terdentate ligand, i.e. with increasing strain in the PdN3 moiety, which indicates that insertion very likely occurs via a mechanism involving nitrogen dissociation. This is fully supported by ab initio MO calculations on CO and ethylene insertion into carbon-palladium bonds of cationic model systems containing a rigid terdentate nitrogen ligand, which showed that the lowest-energy pathway for both insertion reactions consists of substitution of one of the distal nitrogen atoms of the rigid terdentate nitrogen ligand by the substrate, followed by a rate-determining migratory insertion of the substrate into the carbon-palladium bond.
