[MeN(PF2)2]mCr2(CO)n (m = 1, n = 10, 9, 8; m = 2, n = 8, 7, 6; m = 3, n = 6, 5, 4) have been studied theoretically. Low-energy structures with four-electron donor groups and split ligands are found.

The oxidations and reductions of 27 singly arsenic bridged dinuclear metal carbonyl complexes were investigated. There are indications that the complexes as a whole are involved in the redox process. However, the expected one and two electron oxidations with concomitant formation of metal-metal bonds were not observed. Electrochemical electron transfers were irreversible. Chemical oxidation and reduction of a selected example resulted in a series of products originating from the primary fission of one metal-arsenic bond.

A number of polynuclear metal carbonyl complexes can be used as substrates for electron attachment reactions induced by the photoionization of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine. Theproducts of such reactions are derived from metal carbonyl radicals produced by cleavage of the metal-metal bonds.

For a series of singly arsenic bridged dinuclear metal carbonyl complexes with metal-metal bonds electronic spectra and dc-voltammograms in 1,2-dichloroethane were recorded. There is a reasonable correlation between the σ→σ* transitions and the first reduction potentials which can both be taken as measures of the relative strength of the metal-metal bonds. The σ→σ* excitation energy and the negative reduction potential increase (a) with increasing atomic weight of the connected metal atoms, (b) with in­creasing number of CO groups present, (c) with decreasing intramolecular steric hindrance. Steric and electronic factors cannot be cleanly separated. There seems to be no correlation with metal-metal bond lengths. Terminal phosphine ligands decrease all redox potentials but hardly change the electronic absorptions.
