Charge-transfer salts of carbonylmetalates as outer-sphere ion pairs in photochemical and thermal electron transfer

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(92)83221-3

Highly colored, crystalline salts result from the combination of the carbonylmetalates Co(CO)4^-, Mn(CO)5^- and HFe(CO)4^- with perphenyl-phosphonium and sulfonium cations.The unique colors are associated with the interionic
