“…Such a situation can be expected in compounds containing benzenediamido bridges, e.g. in [{Mo(NO)[HB(dmpz) 3 ]X} 2 {(HN) 2 C 6 H 4 }] II (Z = NH, X = halide), 8,9, 13 where the separation between the metal-based redox centres may be varied by choice of the geometric isomers of the [(HN) 2 C 6 H 4 ] 2Ϫ bridge. The effect of the substitution pattern in aromatic bridges on the spectral properties of mixed-valence dinuclear complexes has received sparse attention.…”
