Electrochemical gating of single osmium molecules tethered to Au surfaces
The electrochemical study of electron transport between Au electrodes and the redox molecule Os[(bpy)2(PyCH2 NH2CO-]ClO4 tethered to molecular linkers of different length (1.3 to 2.9 nm) to Au surfaces has shown an exponential decay of the rate constant kET 0 with a slope β = 0.53 consistent with th...
