Multiply Bonded Metal(II) Acetate (Rhodium, Ruthenium, and Molybdenum) Complexes with the <i>trans</i>-1,2-Bis(<i>N</i>‑methylimidazol-2-yl)ethylene Ligand
The
synthesis and structural characterization of new coordination
polymers with the <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-donor ligand <i>trans</i>-1,2-bisÂ(<i>N</i>-methylimidazol-2-yl)Âethylene
(<i>trans</i>-bie) are reported. It was found that the acetate-bridged
paddlewheel metalÂ(II) complexes [M<sub>2</sub>(O<sub>2</sub>CCH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(<i>trans</i>-bie)]<sub><i>n</i></sub> with M = Rh, Ru, Mo, and Cr are linked by the <i>trans</i>-bie ligand to give a one-dimensional alternating chain. The metal–metal
multiple bonds were analyzed with density functional theory and CASSCF/CASPT2
calculations (bond orders: Rh, 0.8; Ru, 1.7; Mo, 3.3)
