Structural investigation of the bridged activated complex in the reaction between hexachloroiridate(IV)and pentacyanocobaltate(II)

摘要

Time resolved energy dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to follow the structural evolution of the inner-sphere electron transfer reaction between[IrCl_6]~(2-)and[Co(CN)_5]~(3-),and to characterise the local structure of the iridium metal centre in the bridged activated complex formed during the reaction.
