Abstract

The electrochemistry of the complex [Fe(CO) 2(NO) 2] and the IR and EPR spectra of the one-electron reduced [Fe(CO) 2(NO) 2] − and one-electron oxidised species [Fe(CO) 2(NO) 2] + reveal mainly NO-centred spin density for the unpaired electron. The results are discussed in term of oxidation states. Furthermore, the parent complex was investigated for light-induced linkage isomerisation using IR spectroscopy. Thermally and optically reversible generation of a new species identified by new vibrational bands is interpreted in terms of photoinduced nitrosyl linkage isomers.
