“…This green color, as expected, is similar to that of the 1:1 catecholate/Fe(III) complex, which is well established in the literature. 4,47 Interaction with other metal chloride complexes cannot be observed from UV−vis of a 0.5 mM H 2 L DMSO solution but can be monitored by a DPV technique. Three well-defined cathodic peaks at −0.33 (E p(1) ), −0.75 (E p(2) ), and −1.26 (Ep(3)) V (vs Ag/AgCl) were observed for 1.0 mM H 2 L in DMSO (Figure 3b).…”
