Abstract

An “all-ferrocene” salt comprised of two ferrocene cations and one ferrocene dianion exhibits an unusual reversing of oxidation-reduction potentials between the cationic and the anionic components. This redox switching can be controlled via the solvent, and is not greatly affected by the supporting electrolyte.
