A Dihydroxo-Bridged Fe(II)−Fe(III) Complex:  A New Member of the Diiron Diamond Core Family

Abstract

The first structurally characterized Fe(II)-Fe(III) complex containing a M2(mu-OH)2 diamond core is a Robin and Day class II mixed-valence complex.

Structural and Electrochemical Studies of Novel Bis(μ‐methoxo)diiron complexes: Observation of FeIIIFeIV and FeIVFeIV States Resonating with Phenoxyl Radicals

“…Several types of diiron complexes with Fe 2 (m-OH), [12][13][14] Fe 2 (m-OR), [15][16][17][18][19] or Fe 2 (m-RCO 2 ) [20,21] bridging moieties (R = alkyl or aryl) have been reported; however, these were mainly described from the point of view of their crystal structures and magnetic properties, particularly the antiferromagnetic interaction between the two iron atoms. Although there are some descriptions of electrochemistry, the main interest has been focused on the Fe II Fe III mixed valence state.…”

Synthesis Characterization and DNA Interaction Studies of a New Zn(II) Complex Containing Different Dinitrogen Aromatic Ligands

“…Additionally, metal complexes with tris-dinitrogen ligands and their analogs have attracted much attention for the chiral recognition of DNA double helices with the enantiomeric complexes and for the photochemical electron transfer reaction initiated by the complex bound to DNA [8–10]. A singular advantage in the use of these metallointercalators for such studies is that the ligands or the metal ion in them can be varied in an easily controlled manner to facilitate individual applications [11–13]. In this regards, binding of zinc(II) complexes to DNA has attracted much attention [14].…”

“…Mixed-valence complexes with metal to metal charge transfer (MMCT) have attracted considerable interest in the past decades,b ecause the investigation may help to understand the ubiquitous electron transfer in chemical, physical, and biological systems. [1] Furthermore,s uch complexes may have potential in molecular electronics and spintronics, [2] high-temperature superconductors, [3] and switchable molecular magnetism. [4] To understand the essential electron transfer process,ahuge amount of mixed valence compounds as simple models have been studied.…”
