Gold electrodes modified with multilayers of M-TTF-tetrathiolate (M = Ni-II and Cu-II, TTF = tetrathiafulvalene)
Gold electrodes, on which multilayered metal-TTF derivatives (M-TTFS4) were assembled, exhibit a redox activity, and the redox potentials are sensitive to the metal ions being coordinated. The M-TTFS4 showed broad and very strong absorbance in the range of near IR, attributed to the charge-transfer band between the metal ions and the ligand.
