Covalent surface confinement of osmium–terpyridine complexes: a UV–VIS and XPS study

Abstract

Well defined monolayers of –Si(CH₂)₄Ph–tpy–OsCl₃, –Si(CH₂)₄Ph–tpy–Os(tpy) and –Si(CH₂)₄Ph–tpyOsCl– (PPh₂)₂C[double bond, length half m-dash]C[double bond, length half m-dash]C(PPh₂)₂–Os(bpy)₂ (tpy = 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) on polycrystalline quartz surfaces are prepared and studied by UV–VIS and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
