Abstract
Neutral [X-{Ir2 }-{Ir2 }-X] (X=Cl, Br, SCN, I) and dicationic [L-{Ir2 }-{Ir2 }-L]2+ (L=MeCN, Me2 CO) tetrametallic iridium chains made by connecting two dinuclear {Ir2 } units ({Ir2 }=[Ir2 (μ-OPy)2 (CO)4 ], OPy=2-pyridonate) by an iridium-iridium bond are described. The complexes exhibit fractional averaged oxidation states of +1.5 and electronic delocalization along the metallic chain. While the axial ligands do not significantly affect the metal-metal bond lengths, the metallic chain has a significant impact on the iridium-L/X bond distances. The complexes show free rotation around the unsupported iridium-iridium bond in solution, with a low-energy transition state for the chloride chain. The absorption spectra of these complexes show characteristic bands at 438-504 nm, which can be fine-tuned by varying the terminal capping ligands.

Abstract
The chemistry of discrete molecular chains constituted by metals in low oxidation states, displaying metal-metal proximity and stabilized by suitable metal-bridging, assembling ligands comprising at least one soft donor atom is comprehensively reviewed; complexes with a single (hard or soft) bridging atom (e.g., μ-halide, μ-sulfide, or μ-PR2 etc.) as well as "closed" metal arrays (that fall in the realm of cluster chemistry) are excluded. The focus is on transition metal-based systems, with few excursions to cases combining transition and post-transition elements. Most relevant supporting ligands have neutral C, P, O, or S donor (mainly, N-heterocyclic carbene, phosphine, ether, thioether) or anionic donor (mainly phenyl, ylide, silyl, phosphide, thiolate) groups. A supporting-ligand-based classification of the metal chains is introduced, using as the classifying parameter the number of "bites" (i.e., ligand bridges) subtending each intermetallic separation. The ligands are further grouped according to the number of donor atoms interacting with the metal chain (called denticity in the following) and the column of the Periodic Table to which the set of donor atoms belongs (in ascending order). A complementary metal-based compilation of the complexes discussed is also provided in a concise tabular form.

Abstract
A new paddlewheel-type diruthenium complex with 2-amino-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (amtfmp) [Ru2(amtfmp)4Cl2] ([1]), which shows intense and characteristic near-infrared (NIR) and visible absorption, has been developed and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analyses. This complex exhibits reversible and dramatic NIR and visible electrochromic behavior from deep-blue ([1]) to pink ([1]-) due to the ON-OFF switching of its characteristic ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) and d-d absorption bands in response to an external voltage or chemical reagent such as decamethylcobaltocene (CoCp*2). The one-electron reduced species of [1], i.e., [CoCp*2][1], was successfully isolated and fully characterized via SCXRD, the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, and mass spectroscopy, proving that this electrochromic behavior occurs without significant structural reorganization of [1].
