Terthienyl-Based Redox-Switchable Hemilabile Ligands: Transition Metal Polymeric Complexes with Electrochemically Tunable or Switchable Coordination Environments?
By controlling the extent of oxidation of the polymeric forms of the new class of isolable, polymerizable terthienyl Ru(II) complexes 1, one can modulate both the binding strength of the polymer backbone for Ru(II) and the electronic nature of the bound metal centers.
