Measurement of the rate constant for through-bridge intra-molecular electron transfer in the intermediate of a RuIII–TiIIIredox reaction involving 3-formylpentane-2,4-dione as bridging ligand

Abstract

The rate constant (25 °C;1 M-LiCl) for electron transfer through the bridging ligand in the kinetic intermediate bis (pentane-2,4-dionato)ruthenium (III)-µ-(3-formylpentane-2,4-dionato)titanium (III)(OH)²+ is 21 s^–1.
