Redox potentials for the first iron-centred oxidation E01 (vs. FcH/[FcH]+) of 1a–d,30,31[1a–d(Rh)3] and [1a–d(Ru)3], in 0.1 mol per L (nBu4N)BArF4/CH2Cl2 determined by cyclic voltammetry (BArF4 = [B{3,5-(CF3)2C6H3}4]).a.

a

Potentials vs. the FcH/[FcH]+ couple at a glassy carbon working electrode (scan rate 100 mV s−1). Determined on 1 mmol per L samples in anhydrous 0.1 mol per L (nBu4N)BArF4/CH2Cl2 as SE (working electrode: glassy carbon). The difference between oxidation and reduction potential, ΔEp, is given in brackets.

b

Determined from square-wave voltammetry due to close peak-to-peak separation, leaving ΔEp inaccessible.
