Structural studies yielded Fc−Fc (edge−edge) separations of 22.0 and 27.1 Å for <i>n</i> = 3, 4, respectively. The potential differences between two Fc oxidation couples were determined via voltammetric studies as 0.24 and 0.22 V for <i>n</i> = 3, 4, respectively, implying the retention of strong interferrocene electronic couplings over extended distances. 2009-04-13 00:00:00 Ru Ligand voltammetric studies Fc oxidation couples 8FcFour Axial Structural studies retention 27.1 Å 0.24 type 0.22 V voltammetry C 6Fc Diruthenium Complexes separation compound interferrocene coupling diffraction 22.0 Ferrocenyl
