aAll of the measurements were performed in room-temperature acetonitrile solution + 0.1 M TBAPF6. All of the redox potentials are referenced to the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple, which was used as an internal standard.
bAn irreversible redox process with an estimated error of ±0.05 V.
cΔE redox = E ox – ΔE red.
d where E 00 is the energy gap between the ground and excited states determined spectroscopically using the data reported in Fig. S4. Estimated error: ±0.1 V.
