Abstract

Aqueous electrolytes Contact Coordination polymers Crystal structure Electrodes Ligands Reduction (electrolytic) Surface chemistry
Crystalline (PMePh sub(3)) sub(2)[Cd sub(2)(dhbq) sub(3)], (dhbq super(2-) = deprotonated 2,5-dihydroxybenzoquinone, H sub(2)dhbq), attached to electrode surfaces, survives repeated cycles of reduction followed by re-oxidation when placed in contact with aqueous electrolyte media. The results afford encouragement that a range of coordination networks containing redox active connecting ligands and/or redox active metal centres may be reducible or oxidisable in the solid state.
