A. Das et Hc. Bajaj, MIXED-VALENCE COMPLEXES INCORPORATING RU-III AND FE-II - SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, KINETICS AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL STUDIES, Polyhedron, 16(7), 1997, pp. 1023-1030
A set of new mixed valence complexes of the type Na-3[(edtaH)Ru(III)LF
e(II)(CN)(5)], where L = pyz, bp, dmbp, etybp or tmbp, has been synthe
sized and characterized by physico-chemical methods. The kinetics of f
ormation of these binuclear complexes were studied using a stopped-flo
w spectrophotometer. Electrochemical studies for these complexes show
only a weak metal-metal interaction in the ground state. All these com
plexes, except the one incorporating tmbp, gave an MMCT band in the re
gion 900 < lambda < 1000 nm and belong to the Robin-Day class II type.
