Mixed-Valence Cyanopyridine-Bridged Complexes of Pentacyanoferrate and Pentaammineruthenium: Electronic Structure, Stability, and Redox Reactivity
The mixed-valence binuclear complexes, [(NC)5Fe(pyCN)Ru(NH3)5]n (4- and 3-cyanopyridine isomers, with nitrile-N and pyridine-N binding to Ru and Fe, respectively) were prepared as solid compounds through stoichiometric oxidation of the fully reduced (II,II) binuclear complexes, R, with peroxydisulfa...
