چکیده
Platinum diimine complexes can covalently be grafted onto oxide-free, hydrogen-terminated silicon(111) surfaces into clean and high-quality monolayers. The so modified offer great prospects as photocathodes for solar-driven electrocatalysis.

متن کاملMolecular Monolayers on Silicon Surfaces
Controlled formation of organic molecular monolayers on silicon surfaces offers the promise of enhancing the functionality of existing and emerging silicon based materials and devices. The synthetic tunability and diversity of properties of organic molecules suggests a range of promising applications for the resulting hybrid organic/silicon structures. At the simplest level, molecular monolayer...
متن کاملComputational insights into uranium complexes supported by redox-active α-diimine ligands.
The electronic structures of two uranium compounds supported by redox-active α-diimine ligands, ((Mes)DAB(Me))(2)U(THF) (1) and Cp(2)U((Mes)DAB(Me)) (2) ((Mes)DAB(Me) = [ArN═C(Me)C(Me)═NAr]; Ar = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl (Mes)), have been investigated using both density functional theory and multiconfigurational self-consistent field methods. Results from these studies have established that both u...
متن کاملPlatinum Complexes with Picoline-functionalized Benzimidazolin-2-ylidene Ligands
The dicarbene platinum complexes of the type [Pt(L)2]Br2 [5]Br2 – [8]Br2 (L = N-alkyl-N′picolylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene) have been prepared by two different methods. The in situ deprotonation of picoline-functionalized benzimidazolium salts 1 – 4 with platinum acetylacetonate gave the platinum complexes [5]Br2 – [8]Br2 in good yields. Complex [8]Br2 has also been obtained by a ligand transfer r...
متن کاملMediated Electron Transfer at Redox Active Monolayers
A theoretical model describing the transport and kinetic processes involved in heterogeneous redox catalysis of solution phase reactants at electrode surfaces coated with redox active monolayers is presented. We describe theoretically the time dependent chronoamperometric response expected for a redox active monolayer in the absence of a substrate in solution, and subsequently extend the analys...
