Abstract

We report in this communication the study of the intramolecular electron transfer through a 2,7-diethynylfluorenyl spacer in the Fe(II)/Fe(III) mixed-valent (MV) complex [(η(2)-dppe)(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))FeC≡C(2,7-C(21)H(24))C≡CFe(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))(η(2)-dppe)][PF(6)] (1[PF(6)]). The complex is generated in situ by comproportionation from its homovalent dinuclear Fe(II) and Fe(III) parents (1 and 1[PF(6)](2)). It is shown that electronic delocalization is much more effective through a 2,7-fluorenyl than through a 4,4'-biphenyl bridging unit.
