摘要

D-π hybridization is a key structural feature that may significantly affect the intrinsic electronic properties of metallopolymers. Herein, we present the electrosynthesis and memristive properties of metallopolymers using the distinct d-π hybridization monomers R1 and R2. R1 (RuII-(tpz)Cl2) features tetradentate ligands (tpz, 6,6′-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine) enforcing quasi-octahedral geometry; R2 (RuII-(bpp)2) incorporates tridentate ligands (bpp, 2,6-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine) inducing pronounced geometric distortion. The planar ligand (tpz) in R1 facilitates ordered molecular assembly through high conformational rigidity and extensive π-π stacking, resulting in increased molecular densities and enhanced morphological uniformity compared to R2 metallopolymers. Due to pyrazole’s weaker π-acceptance and stronger σ-donation compared to pyridine, R1 exhibits a 119 nm red-shift in metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) band and a 30 mV anodic shift in Ru+2/+3 redox potential relative to R2. Coupled with a reduced HOMO–LUMO gap, the uniform and ordered structure leads to a lower conductance decay constant in R1. Additionally, R2 metallopolymers exhibit superior memristive performance (characterized by lower switching voltage and higher switching ratio) via redox-induced aromatic transitions in axial ligands enhancing electronic delocalization. This work compares two metallopolymers with different ligand geometries, revealing how this difference leads to distinct charge transport and memristive behaviors.
