In addition to the well-known luminescent Re(NAN)(GO)3 moieties, the electrochemically active ferrocenyl groups were employed as building blocks for the construction of polynuclear silver(i) alkynyl complexes. Yip reported the synthesis, structural characterization, and electrochemistry of a tetranuclear complex, [Ag3(dppm)3(C=CFc)(OTf)]OTf 96 (Figure 43), with the Ag3(dppm)3 skeletal unit being capped by a ferrocenylethynyl ligand on one side and an OTP anion on the other, all in a /Z3-771-bonding mode.170...

A central C-C bond. [TCYT]2 can decompose into the radical anion of 4,4, 6,6 -tetracyano-2,2 -bitriazine, [TCYBT] —, the one-electron reduced form of planar D2J,) TCBT, which is also structurally characterized as the [TMPD][TCYBT] CT complex (TMPD) (A1A1A, A -tetramethyl-/i-phenylenediamine) with a 1.492(2)A central sp -sp C-C bond (Scheme 8). Although crystals could not be obtained for the radical anion [TCYBT] , the electrochemistry, EPR, and theoretical calculations support the formation of [TCYBT] <2003JOC3367>. 

The aim of this chapter is to describe electrochemistry in micelles and microemulsions in fundamental and practical terms. A major focus is on the use of these media to purposely influence the desired outcome of electrochemical reactions. The chapter also describes how electrochemical methods can be used for structural characterization of these fluids. In the next section (Sect. 4.4.2), we discuss structures, properties, and dynamics of micelles and microemulsions. Subsequent sections present relevant aspects of direct electrochemistry and electrochemical catalysis in micelles and microemulsions. 

Figure 2. Two-step reversible electrochemistry of N,N -dialky-lated pyrazine at moderate potentials in acetonitrile/0.1 M Bu NClO suggested the possibility of isolating the unusually stable radical cation intermediate (K > 10 0 [19]. Selective one-electron reduction of the dication in acetonitrile using iodide eventually yielded a crystalline, structurally characterized material [20].

A paddlewheel dipalladium(ll) compound 158 was oxidized by [AgPFg] to form the Pd moiety 159 (Scheme 10,72 ) [118]. There was only one precedent [119] of a structurally characterized Pd " compound before the preparation of 159. After the oxidation, the Pd-Pd distance contracted by 0.052 A. Comprehensive UV-vis spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and multifrequency EPR study of 159, in combination with X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations, demonstrated that one-electron oxidation to be based on the metal-metal bond, and the Pd-Pd bond order in 159 was 1/2. 

Very few a-bonded Ir(III) porphyrins have been electrochemically investigated. The most detailed study involves complexes of (0EP)Ir(C3H )(L)4 and (OEP)Ir(CeHi3) , the latter of which was also structurally characterized. Unfortunately, the initial analysis of (0EP)Ir(CH3)(L) electrochemistry where L = CO, CN, py, NH3 and N-Melm was incorrect. A quasireversible wave was reported at 0.68 V in CH2CI2 for (0EP)Ir(CH3) while other potentials varied as a function of the bound L ligand in (0EP)Ir(CH3)(L). The cyclic voltammetric waves were misassigned as due to a reduction of the (0EP)Ir(CH3) or (OPE)Ir(CH3(L) complex, despite the positive potential observed. However, more recent studies of the same complexes and of other a-bonded Ir(III) a-bonded porphyrins demonstrate that the waves are actually due to an oxidation of the Ir(III) com-... 

Numerous works have been implemented on tellurium electrochemistry and its adsorption at metal surfaces. The morphological structures of electrodeposited Te layers at various stages of deposition (first UPD, second UPD, and bulk deposition) are now well known [88-93]. As discussed in the previous paragraphs, Stickney and co-workers have carried out detailed characterizations of the first Te monolayer on Au single-crystal surfaces in order to establish the method of electrochemical atomic layer epitaxy of CdTe.
