Zusammenfassung
The complexes [LM(CO)5] (L = 4-cyanopyridine and M = Cr, Mo, W) were reduced by K in THF and at a glassy C electrode in DMF. The resulting radical anion complexes [LM(CO)5]-. were also obtained from replacement reactions of the metal hexacarbonyls with the ligand radical anion L-. or via electron transfer from decacarbonyldimetalates to the free ligand L. The radical complexes were characterized by high resoln. ESR. The unpaired electron resides predominately in the heterocyclic ligand; only minor perturbations of spin distribution occur via the metal fragments. The results are related to the MLCT features in the electronic spectra of these complexes. [on SciFinder(R)]
