Abstract
The first ThIV/ThIII redox couple values have been determined experimentally using cyclic voltammetry (CV), which has been facilitated by the use of [nBu4N][BPh4] as a supporting electrolyte in THF. Th(IV) and Th(III) metallocene compounds have been studied and their redox couple values are in the range of −2.96 V to −3.32 V vs FeCp2+/0.
