Abstract
states. Compared with their protonated forms which exhibit reversible oxidation within 0.91-0.95 V, the oxidation potential of the doubly deprotonated forms shifted remarkably to the cathodic region (0.61-0.66 V). In essence, the present complexes act as potential pH-responsive colorimetric, emission and redox switches.
