Facile Concerted Proton-Electron Transfers in a Ruthenium Terpyridine-4'-Carboxylate Complex with a Long Distance Between the Redox and Basic Sites

摘要

Reactions that involve transfer of both a proton and an electron are important in a wide range of chemical and biochemical processes. When the two particles transfer in a single step from a donor to an acceptor, XH + Y → X + YH, such reactions are termed
