In conclusion, radical cations 1•+ and 2•+, in CH2Cl2
solution, form a mixture of three thermally equilibrating,
interconverting valence tautomeric species, two of which, Zn-
TPP•+-StyRu and Zn-TPP-StyRu•+, have their charge and spin
localized on one of the two different, yet nearly degenerate,
redox sites while the third one displays extensive charge and
spin delocalization over both. While T-dependent equilibria
between two different MV VTs,11,12,13a,14 the simultaneous
presence of localized and delocalized MV species,22 and
conformation-controlled equilibria between MV end-group
and bridge-oxidized redox isomers are known,15,23 we are not
aware of another case where two different localized plus one
additional delocalized VT MV species have been observed
under the same conditions.
