Synthesis, characterization and a voltammetric study of (Bu4N)2[Mo2Br6]. Oxidation-reduction mechanism of related compounds
The synthesis and characterization of (Bu4N)2[Mo2Br6], obtained from Mo(CO)6, (Bu4N)Br and 1,2-dibromoethane, is described. The electrochemical behaviour of [Mo2Br6]−2 and related species is studied, and an oxidation-reduction mechanism is proposed.
