title: Diruthenium, diiron and mixed ruthenium-iron tetraiminediphenolate macrocyclic complexes: synthetic route, spectroscopy, molecular mechanics and redox properties.
abstract: A series of diruthenium(II), [Ru(2)(tidf)Cl(2)(H(2)O)(2)] x H(2)O, diiron(II) [Fe(2)(tidf)(MeOH)(4)](ClO(4))(2) and mixed ruthenium(II)-iron(II) [Ru(MeOH)(2)FeCl(H(2)O)(tidf)](ClO(4)) (tidf=a two compartment tetraiminediphenolate macrocycle) complexes were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry and semi-empirical molecular mechanics calculations.
