“…It has been reported that the two anodic waves appeared in dimethyl sulfoxide when acac ¹ was liberated from the iron complex during the reduction process of Fe(acac) 3 . 23 However, only one anodic peak was observed in BMPTFSA, implying that [Fe(acac) 3 6 ] 3¹/4¹ and more negative than those of other iron complexes. It is known that the higher donor property, namely Lewis basicity, of the ligands leads to the stronger interaction between the metal ion and ligand, resulting in the negative shift of the redox potential.…”
