Redox-triggered molecular switches. Electronic communication in heterobimetallic indacenyl mixed valence complexes

摘要

The cyclic voltammetry of the heterobimetallic CpFe-(μ-η~5:η~5-as-indacene-diide)-RhL_2 complexes [L_2 = COD, NBD] and the analysis of the optical properties in the near-IR of the mixed-valence complexes generated by chemical and electrochemical oxidation, have allowed to evaluate the electronic communication between the metals at different time scales.
