Abstract
Mixed valence complexes containing ferro- and ferricyanide have been known for almost 300 years, but no dinuclear, non-polymeric examples of these com plexes have been structurally characterized. Here we report the first such example, comprising ferrocyanide coordinated to a pentaaminecobalt(III) com plex. This Fe-II-Co-III complex may be reversibly oxidized to the Fe-III-Co -III analogue.
