Multicomponent molecular layers that exhibit electrochemical potential flip on Au(111) by use of proton-coupled electron-transfer reactions
Interfacial ligand substitution of triruthenium(III) complexes confined on gold as a monolayer has proven to be useful to construct molecular heterostructures by quantitatively incorporating 4,4'-bipyridine-anchored diruthenium(III) complexes, whose multi-step redox sequence is reversibly tuned by proton-coupled electron-transfer reactions.
