Chapter 3 Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Between Complexes of Different Metals

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the oxidation–reduction reactions among complexes of different metals. A redox reaction transition metal complexes, having adjacent stable oxidation states, generally takes place in a simple one-equivalent change. For post-transition and actinide elements, where there is usually difference two between both single two-equivalent consecutive changes are possible. The electron transfer basic types. These have become known as outer-sphere inner-sphere. In principle, an process occurs with substitution-inert reactants whose coordination shells remain intact forming activated complex. Electron proceeds more rapidly than substitution shell one reactants. Conversely, inner-sphere processes prior to transfer. also discusses on cobalt (III)—reactions involving inorganic bridging ligands, organic aquo complexes.
