Y. Inose et al., CHIRAL MONOLAYER OF SELF-ASSEMBLED DELTA-[OS(BPY)(2)L(CL)](-BIPYRIDYLL=1,2-BIS(4-PYRIDYL)ETHANE] ON A PLATINUM-ELECTRODE() [BPY EQUALS 2,2'), Chemical communications, (1), 1997, pp. 111-112
A chiral osmium Complex, Delta-(2,2'-bipyridyl) [1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)eth
ane] chloroosmium Delta-[Os(bpy)(2)L(Cl)](+), is successfully self-ass
embled at a monolayer molecular level on a clean Pt electrode in non-a
queous solutions; the self-assembled Delta-[Os(bpy)(2)LCl](+) ions sho
w a phenomenally repulsive interaction with each other on Pt in chiral
-field formation and also in the (OsOsIII)-Os-II redox reaction, while
racemic complexes interact less repulsively with each other.
