The mechanisms of the electron transfer of S-benzyl-N-(ferrocenyl-1-methyl-methylidene)-dithiocarbazate palladium(II)/zinc(II) complexes [Pd(lsb)2]/[Zn(lsb)2] were studied by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, digital simulation and in-situ subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared (SNIFTIR) spectroelectrochemistry. The results indicate that [Pd(lsb)2], which has a square-planar configuration, involved two consecutive one-electron steps in the redox process, while the tetrahedral configuration of Zn(II) involved a two-electron step. The [Pd(lsb)2] complex exhibits a moderately strong electronic communication between the two-ferrocene moieties, which occurs through the skeleton chain of the ligand due to extensive electron delocalization of the whole molecule during the redox process, while the [Zn(lsb)2] complex shows low electron delocalization, and has two almost identical ferrocene moieties.
