Redox-active heterobinuclear triazenide-bridged complexes; ancillary ligand control of electron distribution in a three-electron metal–metal bond
Abstract
Neutral heterobinuclear triazenide-bridged complexes are oxidised to paramagnetic monocations; the electron distribution in the σ* metal–metal orbital of rhodium–iridium complexes may be controlled by the ancillary ligands at the two metals.
