In molecular computing how does structure influence electron transfer ?
In their Dalton Transactions Hot Article, Frederic Paul and his team look at the intramolecular electron transfer in a fluorenyl iron compound with a view to optimising mixed valent compounds for smart molecular devices.
Optical electron transfer through 2,7-diethynylfluorene spacers in mixed-valent complexes containing electron-rich “(η2-dppe)(η5-C5Me5)Fe” endgroups
