Polydentate macrocyclic NHCs (NHC ligands) and related methods are disclosed. Such ligands advantageously facilitate a variety of ligand coordination modes and stabilize oxidation states of metal complexes with a number of coordination environments and shapes. The NHC ligands described herein comprise pendant groups configured to facilitate a variety of reactions including: cis-trans isomerization, proton shuttling and facilitating changes in coordination environments as a result of redox reactions.

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) based ligands and related methods

Disclosed herein is an electrode material comprising a carbon-containing substrate, comprising a surface and a plurality of Rmoieties wherein each Rmoiety is covalently bound to the surface; and each Rmoiety comprises a fluorine atom. Also, disclosed herein is a method of preparing an electrode material.
