  • Spectroscopic and electrochemical methods for electronic characterization.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully synthesized Pt-Cr paddlewheel complexes with significant Pt-Cr bonding.
    • Observed a notable shortening of the Pt-Cr distance upon oxidation.
    • Other bond lengths remained largely unchanged during oxidation.
    • Identified strong axial coordination by chloride ligands in the oxidized species.

    Conclusions:

    • The observed Pt-Cr bond shortening upon oxidation indicates a significant electronic rearrangement.
    • The electron removed during oxidation likely originates from a Pt-Cr antibonding orbital.
    • These findings provide insights into the electronic structure and reactivity of heteronuclear metal-metal bonded systems.
