Redox-switchable molecular containers consisting of dicobalt complexes.
Doubly bridged dicobalt complexes with bidentate diamine ligands were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. Reversible formation and decomposition of the doubly bridged structure utilizing the redox couple between Co(II) and Co(III) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis.
