A novel polynuclear donor complex based on helical peptides with aligned electroactive moieties
Two newly synthesised 21-amino acid peptides substituted with ferrocene groups preserve the helical structure of the peptide and behave as multi-centre donor systems with six electroactive reversible redox centres per molecule. The formal potential of the hexaferrocene compound is slightly less positive than that of its single centre analogue.
