Control over directional metal-metal charge transfer in cyanide-bridged dimanganese complexes: effects of mu-CN linkage isomerism and ancillary ligand set
Km. Anderson et al., Control over directional metal-metal charge transfer in cyanide-bridged dimanganese complexes: effects of mu-CN linkage isomerism and ancillary ligand set, CHEM COMMUN, (18), 2001, pp. 1734-1735
Synthesis and characterisation of cyano-bridged complexes of the form [(eta
-C5R4Me)L(ON)Mn(mu -XY)Mn(CO)(2)-L'(dppm)](Z) (X,Y = C,N; z = 1-3) shows t
hat systematic variation of the orientation of the CN bridge and the nature
and geometric arrangement of the ancillary ligands affords control of the
direction and energy of metal-metal charge transfer in the mixed valence di
cations.
