Abstract
The mixed-valence complexes [Mo(NO)Tp Me,MeCl{O(C 6H 4) n O}MoOTp Me,MeCl] {Tp Me,Me=tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate; n=1 or 2) are paramagnetic (one unpaired electron), are valence-trapped and undergo two one-electron reductions and one one-electron oxidation which were detected by cyclic and square wave voltammetry. The complex [MoOTp Me,MeCl(OC 6H 4py)Mo(NO)Tp Me,MeCl] contains two unpaired electrons whose spins are coupled (shown by EPR spectroscopy), and the complex undergoes two one-electron reductions and two one-electron oxidations. The spectroscopic data reveal that the nitrosyl molybdenum and oxomolybdenum metal centres are weakly interacting.
