โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
The cover picture shows the potential energy curves for a generic valence tautomeric complex with a schematic representation emphasizing the intramolecular electron transfer between the metal ion and the ligand, which can be induced by different external stimuli such as temperature, pressure or irradiation. The diagram is accompanied by a representation of the different redoxโactive ligands involved in valence tautomerism that are presented in the Microreview by E. Evangelio and D. RuizโMolina on p. 2957 ff.
