Evidence of intramolecular electron transfer between two metallic atoms in a bimetallic complex by electrochemical methods

2005

The electrochemical properties of the monomeric complex [(η5-C5H5)(μ-η5:η1-C5H4(CH2)2P(C6H5)2TiCl2] 1 and the heterobimetallic complex [(η5-C5H5)(μ-η5:η1-C5H4(CH2)2P(C6H5)2TiCl2][RuCl2(C6H4(CH3)(C3H7))] 2 have been studied by cyclic voltammetry, controlled potential electrolysis and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. An unexpected electron transfer between the two heterobimetallic atoms has been observed. This transfer takes place via an intramolecular interaction, hence via a chloride bridge. Electrochemical simulation has been carried out to verify experimental results and to obtain the kinetic constant of the proposed square scheme.
