Redox data of ferrocenylcarboxylic acids in dichloromethane and acetonitrile

Abstract

Redox data obtained from cyclic voltammetry experiments of the FeII/III oxidation of six ferrocenyl carboxylic acids is presented in this data in brief article. Data is obtained from the cyclic voltammograms at scan rates of two orders of magnitude (0.05 – 5.00 Vs−1) using (i) acetonitrile as solvent and tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate as supporting electrolyte and (ii) dichloromethane as solvent and tetrabutylammonium tetrakispentafluorophenylborate, as the electrolyte. Data is reported versus the FeII/III redox couple of ferrocene. For more insight in the reported data, see the related research article “Solvent and substituent effect on Electrochemistry of ferrocenylcarboxylic acids”, published in Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry [1].
