A mixed-valence complex refers to a type of coordination complex in which a central metal ion exhibits multiple oxidation states or valences in a single molecular species. This means that within the complex, some of the metal ions are in one oxidation state while others are in a different oxidation state. Mixed-valence complexes are commonly found in transition metal chemistry and are significant for their electronic properties and their roles in various chemical processes including electron transfer reactions.
