Abstract

The redox chemistry of (jt-butatriene)hexacarbonyldiiron compounds, Ρβ2(0Ο)6(ΜΙΌ=0=0=0ΙΙΙΙ’), has been investigated by electrochemical and spectroscopic methods and Fenske-Hall quantum-chemical calculations. The sequence of the electrode processes has been postulated on the basis of the response of different electrochemical techniques, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, and chemical tests. The butatriene chain, interacting with the bimetallic Fe2(CO)6 framework in a multicentered σ/π fashion, is able to stabilize the electrogenerated anions.
