✦ Synopsis

The staggered arrangement of the two dimers in 1 facilitates the formation of an almost linear chain of four metal centers that is held together by a nonsupported metal-metal bond. The intense color of the compounds and the fractional oxidation states of the metal atoms can be explained by electron delocalization along the chain. M=Rh, Ir.
