Abstract: | Circular dichroism (CD) spectroelectrochemistry is used to determine the extent of singly occupied molecular orbital delocalization in mixed-valence multinuclear complexes, specifically the mixed-valence Ru(II)Ru(III) states of the four diastereoisomers of [(Ru(bpy)(2))(2)(bpt)](3+) [1; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl and bpt = 3,5-bis(pyrid-2'-yl)-1,2,4-triazolato anion]. The complex was found to be stable to thermal racemization in the three oxidation states, but photoracemization in the Ru(II)Ru(II) state was observed. |
