Metal Pi-Complexes of Benzene-Derivatives .46. Communication Between Chromium(I) and Molybdenum(III) in the Hetera(3)Metallocyclophane (((Me(2)P-Eta(6)-C6H5)(2)Cr)((Pr-I-Eta(5)-C5H4)Mocl2))(Center-Dot-Center-Dot+)
The binuclear radical complex 7(+) has been synthesized and studied by cyclic voltammetry; the redox couple 7(.)/7(..+) is reversible. During the course of the oxidation, the isotropic, fluid solution EPR signal of 7(.) is replaced by the rigid solution triplet EPR spectrum of 7(..+). The only intermetallic communication, detectable by EPR, consists in electron-electron spin-spin interaction in 7(..+). Its origin is essentially dipolar.
