Abstract: | It is shown that these complexes can be formed between the reactants in redox reactions. Oxidizing and reducing agents are classified on the basis of charge-transfer capacity, which is defined by the integral for the overlap between the filled orbital of the reductant and the free one of the oxidant. Unfilled diffuse d-orbitals most readily give such complexes. Homogeneous catalysis of a redox reaction involves charge transfer in either direction between the catalyst (which has partly filled d-orbitals) and one of the reagents. The transfer is very much dependent on the orientation, so activators play a large part. |
