Homo- and heterobimetallic chromium-metal (metal = Cr, Mn, Fe) complexes have been prepared in multiple oxidation states in a trigonal, 'double decker' ligand.  The rich redox profiles of these complexes allows isolation of species with d9, d10, d11, or d12 electron counts.  These complexes were investigated with multiple techniques, including X-ray crystallography, to determine whether the bimetallic unit is  more sensitive to the identity of the heterometal or the overall electron count.  The covalency of the metal-metal bond is also investigated theoretically.
