Abstract

It is shown that the reduced oxidant used to generate the mixed-valence species (I) serves as necessary "cofactor" in the observation of an intervalence transfer (IT) band.

ChemInform Abstract

It is shown that the reduced oxidant used to generate the mixed-valence species (I) serves as necessary "cofactor" in the observation of an intervalence transfer (IT) band. Such metal cofactors are commonly present in redox processes in nature although their precise role often is not well understood. The present system may serve as a model for such processes. Oxidants used are the complexes (II) to (V).
