Asymmetric property of an ultrathin polymer film impregnated with amphiphilic polypyridine complex for photocatalytic reduction of viologen
Abstract
Only one surface of an ultrathin polymer film impregnated with an amphiphilic ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridine) complex functioned in the photocatalytic reduction of viologen, showing that the film surface had an asymmetric property which was determined by the population of metal complex.
