Twelve of one, a dozen of the other : Synthetic pseudometallic molecules were prepared by fully substituting the [B 12 H 12 ] 2− ion with 12 alkoxy groups. Reversible redox reactions reveal substituent‐dependent potentials varying over 1.2 V (see picture) which were characterized and correlated using Hammett and QSAR linear free‐energy relationships.
