Abstract
Abstract The difference between the redox potentials of decamethylferrocene (FeCp2*), decamethylcobalticinium (CoCp2*)+ and iron-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-hexaethylbenzene cation (FeCp*C6Me6)+ is shown not to depend on the solvent and anion of the supporting electrolyte whereas ferrocene, whose redox potential is solvent dependent, does not fit in this series. Suggestions are made concerning the possible use of the three permethylated complexes as reliable references for the determination of redox potentials, and a redox scale versus decamethylferrocene is proposed.
