MARCOS, M.L. et al. Electrochemical Behaviour of Cobalt Complexes with 2,4-Bis(Trimethylsilylethynyl) Thiophene. []. , 23, 1, pp.35-46. ISSN 0872-1904.

The electrochemical behaviour of five different complexes of cobalt with 2,4-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)thiophene was studied, concluding that the presence of aromatic ligands gives rise to electronic communication effects that allow to define them as molecular wires. The stability of the compounds and of the products of oxidative and reductive charge transfers increases at a temperature of -30 °C.
