The s2 centers, Sn(II), Ge(II), and In(I) reduce Mo v(CN)83- and Wv(CN)8 3- quantitatively to the corresponding octacyanomolybdate(IV) and -tungstate(IV) anions. Reductions by In(I) proceed 103-10 5 times as rapidly as those by Sn(II) and Ge(II). All reactions are triggered by a single electron oxidation, yielding a much more reactive s I intermediate. Reductions by Sn(II) in chloride medium proceed predominantly through the SnCl3- anion. The Ge(II)-W(CN) 83- reaction is initiated by a slow unimolecular heterolysis of the Ge(II) center, yielding very nearly linear profiles when the reductant is in excess.
