C. Diaz et A. Arancibia, AN EVIDENCE OF MIXED-VALENCE ELECTRON-TRANSFER IN THE INVERTED MARCUSREGION, Boletin de la Sociedad Chilena de Quimica, 43(1), 1998, pp. 97-102
The rates electron transfer k(et) for the mixed-valence complexes [Cd(
dppe)Fe-CN-MLn](+2), MLn = Cp(dppe)Fe, Mn(CO)(2)dppmP(OPh)(3) and othe
r cyanide bridged complexes were estimated from the intervalence trans
ition parameters. The k(et) values correlate inversely with the free-e
nergy driving force (-Delta G degrees) estimated from the half-wave po
tentials. The results can be interpreted as an evidence of the inverte
d region of Marcus in mixed-valence complexes.
