Supporting electrolyte: 0.1 M nBu4NPF6 in CH2Cl2 and values are recorded vs. SCE; Fc+/0 occurs in the range of 0.48–0.51 V vs. SCE; scan rate: 100 mV s−1.
2% weight loss in TGA measurements.
The values are reported versus Fc+/0; values without parentheses refer to E1/2 for reversible couples and with parentheses refer to the onset of the redox peak potential for the quasi/irreversible waves.
E g = 1240/λonset (UV).
HOMO = −e(Eox + 4.8).
LUMO = Eg + HOMO.
