Electron transfer rates in a trinuclear mixed-valence iron(III, III, II) molecule: a variable-temperature infrared spectroscopic study
Abstract
In IR spectra of the mixed-valence compound [FeIII2FeIIO(OOCCMe3)6(C5D5N)3], the bands assigned to in-plane vibration of the central oxygen atom show exceptional temperature dependence, interpreted as being due to electron transfer within the trinuclear cluster, with a rate constant of ca. 1011 sā1 at 300 K.
