The MM quadruple bond of configuration MM σ 2 π 4 δ 2 is redox active and in many ways ideally suited for studies of mixed valency when two or more such centres are linked by a bridging ligand. In this account, the mechanism of electronic coupling is examined for complexes of the type [L 3 M 2 bridgeM 2 L 3 ] 0/+ where L, a pivalate; bridge, a dicarboxylate or related ligand and M, Mo or W. The represented examples allow us to probe electronic factors close to the class II/III border and readily distinguish between electron and hole transfer in the superexchange mechanism. The potential for mixed valence organic radical anions mediated by the M 2 centre is also raised and one specific example of class III behaviour is described.

The degree of delocalization in the symmetrical complexes [{Ru(bpy)2}2(μ-dpb′)]5+ and [{Ru(bpy)2}2(μ-dpb)]5+ (dpb = 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,4-benzoquinoxaline; dpb′ = dipyrido(2,3-a;3′,2′-c)benzophenazine; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) is diminished by the substitution of the terminal bpy ligands at one end of the complex. The results of a classical analysis for the diastereoisomeric forms of the series of complexes [{Ru(bpy)2}(μ-BL){Ru(pp)2}]5+ (pp = bpy, Me2bpy (4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine), Me4bpy (4,4′,5,5′-tetramethyl-2,2′-bipyridine)) indicate that a greater degree of ground-state delocalization exists in the complexes incorporating the bridging ligand dpb′ compared with the dpb analogue. A two-state analysis in which ΔE 0 (the redox asymmetry) is varied at constant H ab (the electronic coupling) and λ (the reorganizational energy) does not adequately describe the properties of the systems due to the importance of a third electronic state corresponding to the bridging ligand.

Optical absorption spectra of three dinitroaromatic radical anions, 2,7-dinitro-9,9-dimethylfluorene (1•−), 4,4′-dinitrobiphenyl (2•−), and 4,4′-dinitrotolane (3•−) in solvents THF, HMPA, and MeCN show both an unresolved broad band characteristic of charge-localized mixed valence species (Robin-Day classification Class II), and a vibronically structured band of the delocalized species (Class III). With decreasing solvent reorganization energy, a greater portion of the compounds become charge-delocalized. In particular, 1•− with the greatest coupling, is almost entirely composed of the delocalized species in all solvents. An intense Raman mode is used to identify the charge-bearing unit as the nitrobenzene moiety. Resonance Raman profiles are utilized to gain detailed information of vibrational modes. The out-of-phase ring lengthening stretch mode is observed to be enhanced at higher excitation energies, corresponding to the absorption band of the Class II species, while the in-phase ring lengthening stretch mode, a totally symmetric vibration, is most strongly enhanced in the absorption region of the Class III species. Resonance Raman profiles support the solvent-dependent coexistence of Class II and Class III molecules of the same chemical composition.

A diruthenium complex with a free-base porphyrin linker 1 is synthesized and characterized by 1 H and 31 P NMR, IR, and ESI-TOF-MS spectroscopy. A cyclic voltammogram of 1 shows two reversible waves attributed to the redox processes at the ruthenium centers, and a compropotionation constant (K C ) has been determined to be 1.8 × 105, indicating that a mixed valence state of 1+ is thermodynamically stable. The monocationic complex 1+ obtained by chemical oxidation of 1 by [ Cp 2 Fe ] PF 6 shows an intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) band in the NIR region. On the basis of the electronic coupling ( V ab) of 2644 cm-1 obtained by analysis of the IVCT band, complex 1+• is assigned as a Class III compound according to the Robin–Day classification. DFT calculation and IR study suggest that the strength of π-back donation is one of key determinants for a strong electronic coupling between the two metal centers.

Compound 2, [(η5-C5Me5) Fe(dppe)]2 (μ-C≡C–CH=CH–C≡C), was prepared by the reaction of compound 1, [η5-C5Me5) Fe(dppe)]+2 (μ2-C=CH–CH=CH–HC=C) · (PF 6)2–, with KOBut. Compound 2 showed two quasi-reversible one-electron oxidations at −0.674 and −0.253 V, respectively. The comproportionation constant, Kc, was calculated from these measurements. The mixed-valence(MV) radical cation 2+ showed an absorption peak at 1586 nm, which was assigned to the MV π–π band of the delocalized complex (Robin-Day Mixed-valence Class III) and the effective coupling parameter, Hab, is consistent with the presence of electronic delocalization.
