Abstract

We have investigated the anodic oxidation reactions of W(CO)4Et,F5 (I), where Et,F5 is the ligand N,N'-bis(pentafluorophenylidine)ethylenediamine, by cyclic voltammetry and infrared spectroelectrochemistry. The results in both acetonitrile and methylene chloride indicate an ece type mechanism, with the product of the first electron transfer stabilized by the more coordinating solvent.
