Rw. Wu et al., ELECTRON-TRANSFER RATES IN A TRINUCLEAR MIXED-VALENCE IRON(III,III,II) MOLECULE - A VARIABLE-TEMPERATURE INFRARED SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (14), 1994, pp. 1657-1658
In IR spectra of the mixed-valence compound [(Fe2FeII)-Fe-III(OOCCMe(3
))(6)(C5D5N)(3)], the bands assigned to in-plane vibration of the cent
ral oxygen atom show exceptional temperature dependence, interpreted a
s being due to electron transfer within the trinuclear cluster, with a
rate constant of ca. 10(11) s(-1) at 300 K.
