Abstract
Electrochemical reduction potentials of a broad selection of nitrogen-containing molecules suitable as bridging (dipodal and tripodal) ligands in coordination and organometallic chemistry are reported and compared with results of semiempirical calculations. Trends of electrode potentials observed experimentally agree with respective calculated data, deviations can be explained by invoking peculiarities of the involved molecular orbitals and ligand-electrode surface interactions.
