Protonic modulation of redox properties in ionisable [2 × 2] grid-like metalloarrays†
Abstract
The oxidation state of the cobalt centres can be controlled by modification of the protonation state in [2 × 2] grid-like arrays based on ionisable bis(hydrazone) ligands, allowing conversion of the paramagnetic CoII4 into the diamagnetic CoIII4 grid.
