description

Step by step: The cluster [3,3'-Co(1,2-C(2)B(9)H(11))(2)](-) is an excellent platform for making a stepwise tunable redox potential system by dehydroiodination. With the addition of up to eight iodine substituents (purple; see picture), there is a fall in the E(1/2)(Co(III)/Co(II)) value from -1.80 V to -0.68 V (vs. Fc(+)/Fc; Fc = ferrocene). A practical application of this tunability has been observed in the growth of polypyrrole.
