Popis
Shrnutí:[Display omitted] •Excitation, reduction, and oxidation strengthen d8-d8 metal-metal bonding interactions.•Long-lived singlet and triplet excited states and dual emission are frequent features of d8-d8 complexes.•Femtosecond optical excitation triggers coherent motions of the metal-metal unit.•Higher excited states have mixed-spin, with some charge-transfer character.•Two-electron superreduced complexes feature (pσ)2 metal-metal bonds combined with electron delocalization over the ligands. Research on d8-d8 complexes is being actively pursued, owing, in part, to newly developed time-resolved optical, IR, and X-ray methods that directly interrogate bonding changes upon excitation. Our review covers work on the ground- and electronic excited states, as well as the oxidized and reduced forms, of these complexes. Recent experimental and theoretical results add a new chapter to the rich history of d8-d8 spectroscopic and chemical behavior.
