Electronic coupling in mixed-valence binuclear ruthenium ammine complexes as probed by an electrochemical method and an extension of Mulliken's theory of donor-acceptor interactions

Mixed-valance binuclear complexes reveal electronic coupling which can be extensively comprehended by adopting the uncomplicated theoretical outline derived from the Mulliken model for donor-acceptor reactions. Changes which are artificially incorporated yield information about the electrochemical potential shift. Ordinary dimeric structures reveal a resonance delocalization energy which are determined along with the extent of quantum coupling by the data obtained. The wave function coefficient is used to calculate the magnitude of wave function mixing.
