Spectroscopic and thermodynamic characterization of a cobalt-verdazyl valence tautomeric system. influence of crystal structure, solvent and counterion

Abstract

Crystallization of the verdazyl-based valence tautomeric ion [Co(dipyvd)2]2+ (where dipyvd is the radical ligand 1-isopropyl-3,5-di(2’-pyridyl) -6-oxoverdazyl) with a variety of different counterions results in materials that show varying degrees of...
