Abstract:
Three paddlewheel-type Mo≣Mo complexes incorporating the solubilizing carboxylate ligands 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)acetate, isovalerate, and 5-methylhexanoate were prepared and characterised for potential use in energy storage applications. Along with a previously reported compound, the series demonstrates control over properties including solubility, reduction potential, and Li+ binding in electrolytes relevant to Li batteries.
