Abstract:Interest in coordination compounds based on non-innocent ligands (NILs) for electrochemical energy storage have raised in the last years. We have focused our attention on an overlooked redox active linker, croconate violet, which has not yet been addressed in this field although closely related to standard NILs such as catecholate and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). Two anionic complexes consisting of Fe(II) and croconate violet (-2) with balancing potassium cations were isolated and structurally characterize… Show more
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.
