Abstract
Active materials for flow batteries can include various coordination compounds formed from transition metals. Some compositions containing coordination compounds can include a substituted catecholate ligand having a structure of
in a neutral form or a salt form, in which Z is a heteroatom functional group bound to the substituted catecholate ligand at an open aromatic ring position and n is an integer ranging between 1 and 4. When more than one Z is present, each Z can be the same or different. Electrolyte solutions can include such coordination compounds, and such electrolyte solutions can be incorporated within a flow battery.
