In a one-pot reaction of N-(5-methylthiazole-2-yl)-thiazole-2-carboxamide HL2 (3) with iron(II) acetate in air, the homotrinuclear heteroleptic mixed-valent oxo-centered iron cluster [Fe(II)Fe(III)O(L2)3(OAc)3] (4) was formed. Exchange of iron(II) in 4 by nickel(II) afforded the heteronuclear cluster [Ni(II)Fe(III)O(L2)3(OAc)3] (6). To obtain crystals suitable for X-ray structure analyses, in 4 and 6, the OAc- co-ligands were exchanged by OBz- ligands to give [Fe(II)Fe2(III)O(L2)3(OBz)3] (5) and [Ni(II)Fe(III)O(L2)3(OBz)3] (7). The complexes 5 and 7 are isostructural and made up of three ditopic, tridentate ligands (L2)- and three bridging benzoate co-ligands, which fix the three metal ions in the corners of a triangle with an mu3-O2- ion in the center. The mixed-valent character of 4-7, their intramolecular electron-exchange processes, and their redox properties were studied by variable-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.

The anionic state of basic ruthenium acetate complexes of the type [RuO(OAc)](CO)(L)(L) (L = 4-cyanopyridine, pyridine, and ,-dimethylaminopyridine) feature pronounced optical transitions in the near-infrared region indicative of strongly coupled mixed-valence states. A series of these clusters was prepared and studied spectroscopically in tandem with density functional theory (DFT) computational results to construct an orbital structure-function description of how the electron density is shared between the ruthenium centers in this mixed-valent state. The mixed-valency manifests itself as a combination of the nonbonding atomic orbitals of the equivalent ruthenium centers, with increased energetic splitting between the orbitals with symmetries appropriate for more efficient electronic communication.

Electron transfer across a mixed-valent hydrogen-bonded self-dimer of oxo-centered triruthenium clusters bridged by a pair of 4(3 H)-pyrimidinones is reported. Spectroelectrochemical studies in methylene chloride reveal that 1 rapidly self-dimerizes upon one-electron reduction, forming the strongly coupled mixed-valent hydrogen-bonded dimer (1). In the mixed-valent state, significantly broadened, partially coalesced ν(CO) bands are observed, allowing estimation of the electron transfer rate ( k) by an optical Bloch line shape analysis.

Electron transfer rates in a series of oxo-centered triruthenium clusters featuring an extended aromatic ancillary ligand of the type [Ru3(OAc)6(μ3-O)(CO)(L)(pep)], where L = 4-cyanopyridine (cpy), pyridine (py), or 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (dmap) and pep = 4-(phenylethynyl)pyridine were investigated. The electron self-exchange rate constants for the 0/- couple were determined by (1)H NMR line broadening experiments and found to range from 4.3 to 9.

A rare micro6-oxo-centered Mn6 mixed-valent cluster (1) is prepared and used as a secondary building unit for the self-assembly of its azido-bridged polymeric analogue (2) in a systematic way with the retention of the Mn6 core of 1. Both complexes are characterized by X-ray single-crystal structure determination. The complex 1 was crystallized in a monoclinic system, space group P21, a=11.
