The multistate redox-active/multi-interactive ligand 5,5',8,8'-tetra(4-pyridyl)-2,2'-(1,4-phenylene)bis-1H-perimidine (H TPP) was designed and synthesized. H TPP undergoes four one-electron oxidation steps, and was used for the preparation of a multistate redox-active coordination network in a solid-liquid interface reaction using molten Cd salts. The multiple redox states of H TPP were confirmed spectroscopically by stepwise four-electron oxidation. Spectroscopic analysis indicated that the mixed-valence states of the ligand are class II on the UV/Vis/NIR timescale and borderline class II/class III on the ESR timescale.
The multistate redox‐active/multi‐interactive ligand 5,5′,8,8′‐tetra(4‐pyridyl)‐2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)bis‐1H‐perimidine (H2TPP) was designed and synthesized. H2TPP undergoes four one‐electron oxidation steps, and was used for the preparation of a multistate redox‐active coordination network in a solid–liquid interface reaction using molten Cd2+ salts. The multiple redox states of H2TPP were confirmed spectroscopically by stepwise four‐electron oxidation. Spectroscopic analysis indicated that the mixed‐valence states of the ligand are class II on the UV/Vis/NIR timescale and borderline class II/class III on the ESR timescale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
