Complex | Reduction potential, mV (vs. Fc+/0)* | kobs (DHA)†, s−1 | KIE |
---|---|---|---|
1b | 270 < E < 490 | 4.0 × 10−5 | 9 |
2b | 760 | 5.1 × 10−4 | 10 |
4b | 490 < E < 670 | 4.2 × 10−2 | 27 |
*The reduction potentials of 1b and 4b were estimated by titrations with reductants with known potentials, such as acetylferrocene (270 mV), 1,1′-diacetylferrocene (490 mV), and tris(4-bromophenyl)amine (670 mV) (31). Potentials are referenced to Fc+/0.
