Abstract

The highest number, so far, of well-resolved, completely reversible reduction waves of a molecular compound is found during the stepwise reduction of the tetranuclear [2 x 2] Co4/(II) grid-type complex 1 (R = Ph) by a total of 11 electrons. The associated (differential) cyclic voltammogram (see picture) shows ten reduction waves, which represent ten reduced species of remarkable stability.
