the theoretical calculations of the electronic absorption spectra for group 3A meta110porphyrins.l~ In addition, this formulation is consistent with the ESR data of 3 which indicate that the initial reduction site occurs at the ligand and specifically at the tungsten atom. This formulation is also consistent with a shift of the potential for P radical formation to more negative values and would also suggest the formation of a transient [(P)In1(Mo(CO),Cp)]2-species after the second reduction and before cleavage of the metal-metal bond. Unfortunately, this dianion has not been isolated but is postulated to be a transient species by cyclic voltammetry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
