Front Cover: Electrochemical Investigation of the Kinetics of Chloride Substitution upon Reduction of [Ru(porphyrin)(NO)Cl] Complexes in Tetrahydrofuran (ChemElectroChem 6/2018)
Abstract:The Front Cover shows cartoons of species formed during cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis of [Ru(porphyrin)(NO)Cl] in tetrahydrofuran. The initial redox‐induced reversible solvent‐for‐chloride metathesis shown in the reaction at the top occurs at diffusion‐limited rates. This reaction, and others, were elucidated by analysis and simulation of CV data, chemical reduction, and IR spectroelectrochemistry. Subsequent electron‐transfer reactions occur at the thus‐formed solvento species, which features a bent NO lig… 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.
