ACIE The cluster [3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2]− is an excellent platform for making a stepwise tunable redox potential system by dehydroiodination. With the addition of up to eight iodine substituents (purple; see picture), there is a fall in the E1/2(CoIII/CoII) value from −1.80 V to −0.68 V (vs. Fc+/Fc; Fc=ferrocene). A practical application of this tunability has been observed in the growth of polypyrrole.
