Abstract:
The energies of the charge-transfer bands and the redox potentials of substituted cyanoiron complexes are strongly influenced by preferential solvation effects in water-acetonitrile mixed solvents, exhibiting a linear dependence with respect to the acceptor number scale. The dependence increases with the number of cyanide ligands in the complexes.
