Fine tuning of intra-lattice electron transfers through site doping in tetraoxolene-bridged iron honeycomb layers

Abstract

The precise control of intra-lattice multiple electron transfers was demonstrated in the solvated and desolvated species of the tetraoxolene-bridged Fe honeycomb layer system, (NPr₄)₂[Fe₂(Cl₂An)₃]·(solv) (Cl₂Anⁿ⁻ = 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinonate; NPr₄⁺ = tetrapropylammonium cation), by the site-doping of the Cl₂Anⁿ⁻ bridging unit using X₂Anⁿ⁻ units with X = Br or F.
