Graphical Abstract

Fast electron transfer between the Mn centers in the mixed-valent complex 1, a dinuclear analogue of complexes with Cp′-N-ligands (Cp=C5H5), supports the occurrence of cooperative effects in such highly preorganized bimetallic systems. An unsual η1:η1:η5 coordination of the pyrazolate group is observed for K+1 in the solid state.
