The theoretical framework of inorganic chemistry

Under appropriate conditions, analysis of cychc voltanuno-grams such as that shown in Figure 1 provide simple measures of the solution redox potentials of transition metal complexes, derived as 1/2. Extensive tabulations of redox potentials are available, and provide a key resource for inorganic chemistry. The correlation redox potentials with parameters such as ligand field strength, ligand hardness, and ionization energy of the transition metal forms an important theoretical framework for transition metal chemistry.
