[a] Cyclic voltammetry in N2 saturated DCM containing a 0.10 M Bu4NPF6 supporting electrolyte; Pt electrode was used as counter electrode; working electrode is glassy carbon electrode; Ag/AgCl couple as the reference electrode. E 00 is the energy difference between the potential minima, approximated with the crossing point of UV‐Vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra after normalization. [b] E 00=1.96 eV. [c] E 00=1.92 eV. [d] E 00=1.98 eV. [e] The value was obtained by setting the oxidation potential of Fc+/Fc as 0. [f] The redox potentials are approximated based on the redox potential measured in DCM.
