Abstract
Carbonyl vibrational spectroelectrochem. of (μ-pz)Os(PiPr3)2(CO)(H)Cl20/+ in dichloromethane reveals valence delocalization of the mixed-valent state despite relatively weak metal-metal coupling, as evident from the comproportionation const. Kc = 104.3 and the intervalence charge-transfer band at 1705 nm (e = 1250 M-1 cm-1, Dn1/2 = 3700 cm-1). The rather low charge and nonpolar medium, i.e., the absence of valence trapping by counterions or solvent mols., favor this particular situation. on SciFinder(R)
