Synthesis and CV Studies of Dithiol-terminated Metal Terpyridine Complexes
2003
Transition metal coordination complexes possess unique electronic structures that should be a good model for studying electronic transport behavior at a molecular level. The discrete, multiple redox states, low redox potential and the superb ability to establish contact with other molecular and electronic components by coordination chemistry have made this a subject of investigation for their possible application as active electronic components in molecular devices. We present the synthesis and electrochemical characterization of 4'-thioacetylphenyl-2'2:6',2"-terpyridine iron(II) complex and compare it with a model bis-terpyridine iron(II) complex by cyclic voltammetry. With the use of different working electrodes, the behavior of these complexes show different electron transfer rates.
