The [C4F8] ligand was shown to support well-defined terpyridyl nickel complexes in the +2 and +3 oxidation states. Notably, a cyclic voltammetry study of the nickel(iii) species indicates that an additional oxidation is accessible, providing a family of related fluoroalkyl nickel complexes spanning the +2 to +4 oxidation states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
