Li. Denisovich et al., ELECTROCHEMICAL OXIDATION AND REDUCTION OF RHODIUM AND IRIDIUM COMPLEXES WITH FULLERENES C-60 AND C-70, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(7), 1997, pp. 1251-1257
The electrochemical behavior of rhodium and iridium complexes with ful
lerenes C-60 and C-70 was Studied by cyclic voltammetry in a THF-tolue
ne mixture. The complexes were found to be capable of oxidation and re
duction. It was demonstrated that the in situ generation of metalloful
lerene complexes in the electrochemical cell by the interaction of C-6
0 and C-70 With hydridocarbonylphosphine complexes of rhodium and irid
ium, KM(CO)(PPh3)(3), is possible. The influence of structural factors
and the action of CO2 on changes in the redox properties of fullerene
complexes was considered.
