The BIAN ligand 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene: An electron sponge or a “normal” α-diimine ligand?
文摘
Combined (IR, UV–vis-NIR, EPR) spectroelectrochemical study of complexes [Re(CO)3Cl(L)] and [M(CO)5(L)], M = Cr,Mo,W. Reversible electrochemical oxidation of [Re(CO)3Cl(L)]. Mostly irreversible reduction despite two low lying orbitals of different character. No special electron reservoir behavior detected.
