Abstract

The typical spectroscopic features (EPR, vibrational and electronic absorption spectroscopy) to detect and characterize mixed-valent dimers are presented using organometallic, inorganic and bioinorganic examples.

      While all reasonable alternatives for systems Ru-(μ-L)-Ru with di- and trivalent ruthenium appear realized (Scheme 4), there is still potential for such mixed-valent/redox-isomeric arrangements with lower and higher oxidation states. Some donor-bridged RuIVRuIII mixed-valent species such as oxamido-coupled systems (Scheme 11) have been reported and analyzed [31a], whereas RuIIRuI intermediates are truly rare [4d] (Scheme 11), requiring an easily reduced acceptor bridge like 2,2′-azobipyridine [12a,33b] and co-ligands which stabilize low oxidation states. In each case of Scheme 11 the experimental IVCT absorption in the near infrared and the DFT calculated electronic structures confirm the mixed-valent character.

      The 3d element compounds can present some experimental difficulties due to their labile bonding to common non-chelate ligands and because of the variable spin states, however, both these formidable challenges can be dealt with by using sophisticated ligands in molecules, clusters, or coordination polymers, and by taking advantage of high spin situations in the form of double exchange [16] or valence tautomerism/spin crossover [17] phenomena. The 4d systems do not normally exhibit coordinative lability or spin isomerism which has contributed to the popularity especially of ruthenium compounds in that area [10–14]. This element adopts two inert neighbouring oxidation states (+III, +II), involving an otherwise not very common 4d5 configuration.
