Abstract
Large reorganization energies (38 ± 5 kcal mol−1) are found to be required for electron-transfer reactions of permethylated catenates of group 4B elements. With such large reorganization energies the standard oxidation potentials of permethylated catenates of group 4B elements in acetonitrile are about 1 V lower than the corresponding peak potentials observed in the electrochemical oxidation.Keywords
