“…The other complexes, 2b-4b, behaved similarly (Table 2). Apart from the ferrocene couple at about 0.450 V, the voltammogram displays a reduction at À1.40 V, which is characteristic of nickel(II)/nickel(I) reduction [40]. As seen, 4a displayed an irreversible peak at E pc ¼ -1.23 V. The reduction wave is assigned to the Co(II)/Co(I) process [41,42].…”
