Structural characterization of four members of the electron-transfer series [Pd(super II)(L)2)2](super n) (L=o-iminophenolate derivative; n=2-,1-,0,1+, 2+): Ligand mixed valency in the monocation and monoanion with S=1/2 ground states

The electronic structure of [Ni(super II)(L(sub N)(super ISQ))2] and of [Pt(super II)-(L(sub O)(super ISQ))2] is calculated by density functional theoretical and correlated ab initio methods. Electronic and resonance spectra is reported, and the electronic structures of all members of this electron-transfer series is established.
