Abstract
The electronic structure of the ground and excited states of the binuc lear mixed-valence complex [Ru(NH3)(5)](2)(4,4'-bipy)(5+) is calculate d by the semiempirical INDO + CI method, and an electronic spectrum as signment is given. A theoretical model of electron transfer between th e Ru(II) and Ru(III) metal centers is constructed on the basis of many -electron wave functions. The dependence of the electron transfer char acteristics on the angles between the planes of the pyridine rings and also between the pyridine rings and the planes of cis(NH3)-Ru-cis(NH3 ) is analyzed.
