Abstract:
The data presented in this article is related to the research article entitled "Electrochemical and electronic properties of a series of substituted polypyridine ligands and their Co(II) complexes" (Ferreira et al., 2019). This data article presents electrochemical data of five polypyridine ligands, as well as of the three redox couples of each of their corresponding five polypyridine-containing Co(II) complexes. All complexes exhibit two Co-based redox couples (CoIII/II and CoII/I), as well as a ligand-based reduction of the Co(I) complex.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...

A voltammetric cell uses three electrodes: a working electrode, a reference electrode, and an auxiliary electrode. The redox reactions occur in the working...
