M. Levis et al., NEW MATERIALS FOR SENSORS .1. TRIS(1,10-PHENANTHROLINE)IRON(II) COMPLEXES - INFLUENCE OF 4,7-DONOR SUBSTITUTION ON THE REDOX POTENTIAL, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 49(5), 1994, pp. 675-682
Several new 4,7-donor substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines were synthesize
d and the corresponding tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) complexes we
re studied by cyclic voltammetry. All iron(II) complexes showed fully
reversible waves at scan rates between 50 and 500 mV/s. For some redox
systems the kinetics in their reaction with chlorine was studied. Com
plexes 7k and 7l significantly extent the potential range of tris(1,10
-phenanthroline)iron(II) complexes.
