Abstract
We developed an efficient and convenient electrochemical method to synthesize π-conjugated redox metal-complex linear polymer wires composed of azobenzene-bridged bis(terpyridine)metal (2-M, M = Fe, Ru) units covalently immobilized on glassy carbon (GC). Polymerization proceeds by electrochemical oxidation of bis(4′-(4-anilino)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine)metal (1-M) in a water–acetonitrile–HClO4 solution, affording ultralong wires up to 7400 mers (corresponding to ca. 15 μm). Both 2-Fe and 2-Ru undergo reversible redox reactions, and their redox behaviors indicate remarkably fast redox conduction. Anisotropic hetero-metal-complex polymer wires with Fe and Ru centers are constructed via stepwise electropolymerization. The cyclic voltammograms of two hetero-metal-complex polymer wires, GC/[2-Fe]–[2-Ru] (3) and GC/[2-Ru]–[2-Fe] (4), show irreversible redox reactions with opposite electron transfer characteristics, indicating redox diodelike behavior. In short, the present electrochemical method is useful to synthesize polymer wire arrays and to integrate functional molecules on carbon.

Abstract
The construction of an efficient conductive interface between electrodes and electroactive proteins is a major challenge in the biosensor and bioelectrochemistry fields to achieve the desired nanodevice performance. Concomitantly, metallo-organic terpyridine wires have been extensively studied for their great ability to mediate electron transfer over a long-range distance. In this study, we report a novel stepwise bottom-up approach for assembling bioelectrodes based on a genetically modified model electroactive protein, cytochrome c553 (cyt c553) and an organometallic terpyridine (TPY) molecular wire self-assembled monolayer (SAM). Efficient anchoring of the TPY derivative (TPY-PO(OH)2) onto the ITO surface was achieved by optimising solvent composition. Uniform surface coverage with the electroactive protein was achieved by binding the cyt c553 molecules via the C-terminal His6-tag to the modified TPY macromolecules containing Earth abundant metallic redox centres. Photoelectrochemical characterisation demonstrates the crucial importance of the metal redox centre for the determination of the desired electron transfer properties between cyt and the ITO electrode. Even without the cyt protein, the ITO-TPY nanosystem reported here generates photocurrents whose densities are 2-fold higher that those reported earlier for ITO electrodes functionalised with the photoactive proteins such as photosystem I in the presence of an external mediator, and 30-fold higher than that of the pristine ITO. The universal chemical platform for anchoring and nanostructuring of (photo)electroactive proteins reported in this study provides a major advancement for the construction of efficient (bio)molecular systems requiring a high degree of precise supramolecular organisation as well as efficient charge transfer between (photo)redox-active molecular components and various types of electrode materials.

Redox-Active Monolayers Self-Assembled on Gold Electrodes-Effect of Their Structures on Electrochemical Parameters and DNA Sensing Ability. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25030607. [PMID: 32019203 PMCID: PMC7037899 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25030607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Revised: 01/16/2020] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The background: The monolayers self-assembled on the gold electrode incorporated transition metal complexes can act both as receptor (“host” molecules) immobilization sites, as well as transducer for interface recognitions of “guest” molecules present in the aqueous solutions. Their electrochemical parameters influencing the sensing properties strongly depend on the transition metal complex structures. The objectives: The electrochemical characterization of the symmetric terpyridine–M2+–terpyridine and asymmetric dipyrromethene–M2+–terpyridine complexes modified with ssDNA probe covalently attached to the gold electrodes and exploring their ssDNA sensing ability were the main aims of the research presented. The methods: Two transition metal cations have been selected: Cu2+ and Co2+ for creation of redox-active monolayers. The electron transfer coefficients indicating the reversibility and electron transfer rate constant measuring kinetic of redox reactions have been determined for all SAMs studied using: Cyclic Voltammetry, Osteryoung Square-Wave Voltammetry, and Differential Pulse Voltammetry. All redox-active platforms have been applied for immobilization of ssDNA probe. Next, their sensing properties towards complementary DNA target have been explored electrochemically. The results: All SAMs studied were stable displaying quasi-reversible redox activity. The linear relationships between cathodic and anodic current vs. san rate were obtained for both symmetric and asymmetric SAMs incorporating Co2+ and Cu2+, indicating that oxidized and reduced redox sites are adsorbed on the electrode surface. The ssDNA sensing ability were observed in the fM concentration range. The low responses towards non-complementary ssDNA sequences provided evidences for sensors good selectivity. The conclusions: All redox-active SAMs modified with a ssDNA probe were suitable for sensing of ssDNA target, with very good sensitivity in fM range and very good selectivity. The detection limits obtained for SAMs incorporating Cu2+, both symmetric and asymmetric, were better in comparison to SAMs incorporating Co2+. Thus, selection of the right transition metal cation has stronger influence on ssDNA sensing ability, than complex structures.

Abstract
The fabrication of stable, highly conductive molecular nano-junctions is one of the main research goals in the field of molecular electronics. In this paper we report on the self-assembly and functional characterisation of highly conductive molecular wires, based on mixed-metal polynuclear complexes, at the surface of a transparent conductive oxide. The adopted synthetic approach involves metal-coordination reactions on oxide surfaces, pre-functionalised with a monolayer of terpyridine moieties that are used as anchoring sites for the integration of ditopic, redox-active ruthenium-bisterpyridine molecules through iron(ii) centres. By the stepwise iteration of the iron-coordination reaction, molecular wires of the desired length can be prepared, which alternate iron and ruthenium centres in the wire backbone. The stepwise assembly of the wires at the transparent conductive oxide surface was characterised by means of UV-Vis spectroscopy and, at the nanoscale, by means of ToF-SIMS measurements. The electrical characteristics of the wires were obtained by the liquid-metal eutectic-gain nano-junction technique, with results that show good electron transport capabilities along the wires. The demonstrated feasibility of the integration of these metal-polypyridinic, redox-active, conductive wires at the surface of a transparent and conductive oxide, and the evidence for good electrical conduction indicates prospective applications in the field of nanoscale molecular optoelectronics.

Abstract
An n-type organosilane-metal ion hybrid of Rhodamine B-silane and copper cation (Cu-RBS) was investigated as a low-temperature thermoelectric material. Computational analysis revealed the most likely localized binding site of Cu2+ was to the Rhodamine B core and provided predictions of molecular orbitals and electrostatic potentials upon complexation. The concentration-dependent optical absorption and emission spectra confirmed the effective metal-ligand charge transfer from Cu2+ to the xanthene core of RBS, indicating the potential for improved electrical properties for the complex relative to RBS. The electrical conductivity and Seebeck thermoelectric (TE) behavior were evaluated and compared with its precursor complex of Rhodamine B and copper cation. While a moderately high electrical conductivity of 4.38 S m-1 was obtained for the Cu-RBS complex, the relatively low Seebeck coefficient of -26.2 μV/K resulted in a low TE power factor. However, compared to other organic doped materials, these results were promising toward developing n-type thermoelectric materials with no doping agents. Both phase segregation and thin film heterogeneity remain to be optimized; thus, the balance between Cu2+ domains and RBS domain phases will likely yield higher Seebeck coefficients and improved power factors.

Abstract
A [Ru(bpy)3](2+)-like complex (L1) bearing two free terpyridine groups at the 5 and 5' positions of the same bipyridine, linked by the rigid and linear 2,5-dimethyl phenylene bridges has been synthesized to open access to two classes of linear molecular wires with photosensitive properties: a bimetallic coordination polymer and an inorganic triad. In this Research Article, we report on the synthesis and characterization of the resulting [{Ru(II_)Fe(II)}n](4n+) alternated bimetallic polymer and the [Co(III_)Ru(II_)Fe(II)](7+) triad based on the building block L1. The [{Ru(II_)Fe(II)}n](4n+) polymer is fully characterized in solution. Cyclic voltammetry and emission lifetime measurements show that the bridging ligand allows interaction between the metal centers in the excited state despite the lack of interactions in the ground state. Under visible irradiation, the polymer can be fully oxidized in the presence of a sacrificial electron acceptor in solution. Thin robust films of the polymer are easily obtained on ITO by a simple electrochemical procedure based on an electroreduction adsorption process. The ITO/[{Ru(II_)Fe(II)}n](4n+)-modified electrode behaves as a photocathode under irradiation in the presence of ArN2(+). The magnitude of the photocurrent is dependent on the film thickness, probably limited by the diffusion of charge in thicker film. On the other hand L1 is also used to construct a well-ordered triad in association with Co(III) and Fe(II) metallic centers as electron acceptor and donor, respectively. The metallic triad is anchored on ITO or on a SiO2 wafer, starting from a terpyridine phosphonate modified surface. AFM images prove the presence of the triad in a linear upward orientation. Irradiation of the ITO/[Co(III_)Ru(II_)Fe(II)](7+) modified surface in the presence of triethanolamine in CH3CN induces the generation of an anodic photocurrent of around 30 μA.cm(-2). The photocurrent density generated by the ITO/[Co(III_)Ru(II_)Fe(II)](7+) electrode, appears to be more stable than in the case of ITO/[{Ru(II_)Fe(II)}n](4n+) because of the presence of the anchoring group. Moreover, this photocurrent magnitude represents an enhancement of 30% compared to our previous triad ( Dalton Trans. 2014 , 43 , 12156 - 12159 ), proving the advantage of a linear and rigid spacer for the construction of such molecular assemblies with photoinduced charge transfer abilities.

Abstract
Bottom-up approaches have gained significant attention recently for the creation of nano-sized, ordered functional structures and materials. Stepwise coordination techniques, in which ligand molecules and metal sources are reacted alternatively, offer several advantages. Coordination bonds are stable, reversible, and self-assembling, and the resultant metal complex motifs may contain functionalities unique to their own characteristics. This review focuses on metal complex wire systems, specifically the bottom-up fabrication of linear and branched bis(terpyridine)metal complex wires on electrode surfaces. This system possesses distinct and characteristic electronic functionalities, intra-wire redox conduction and excellent long-range electron transport ability. This series of comprehensive studies exploited the customizability of bis(terpyridine)metal complex wires, including examining the influence of building blocks. In addition, simple yet effective electron transfer models were established for redox conduction and long-range electron transport. A fabrication technique for an ultra-long bis(terpyridine)metal complex wire is also described, along with its properties and functionalities.

Abstract
Extensive studies of various families of conjugated molecules in metal|molecule|metal junctions suggest that the mechanism of conductance is usually tunnelling for molecular lengths < ca. 4 nm, and that for longer molecules, coherence is lost as a hopping element becomes more significant. In this work we present evidence that, for a family of conjugated, redox-active metal complexes, hopping may be a significant factor for even the shortest molecule studied (ca. 1 nm between contact atoms). The length dependence of conductance for two series of such complexes which differ essentially in the number of conjugated 1,4-C6H4- rings in the structures has been studied, and it is found that the junction conductances vary linearly with molecular length, consistent with a hopping mechanism, whereas there is significant deviation from linearity in plots of log(conductance) vs. length that would be characteristic of tunnelling, and the slopes of the log(conductance)–length plots are much smaller than expected for an oligophenyl system. Moreover, the conductances of molecular junctions involving the redox–active molecules, [M(pyterpy)2]2+/3+ (M = Co, Fe) have been studied as a function of electrochemical potential in ionic liquid electrolyte, and the conductance–overpotential relationship is found to fit well with the Kuznetsov–Ulstrup relationship, which is essentially a hopping description.

Abstract
The authors reported previously that bis(terpyiridne)iron(II) complex oligomer wires possess outstanding long-range intrawire electron transport ability. Here, molecular arrays of gold-electrode-bis(terpyridine)iron(II)-ferrocene are constructed by stepwise coordination as simple models of the oligomer wire system. The fast electron transfer between the terminal ferrocene and the gold electrode through the bis(terpyiridne)iron(II) complex unit is studied by potential step chronoamperometry (PSCA) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Tafel plots derived from PSCA are analyzed based on Marcus theory. The plots reveal greater first-order electron transfer rate constant, weaker electronic coupling between the terminal ferrocene and the gold electrode, and smaller reorganization energy than shown by a conventional ferrocenylalkanethiol self-assembled monolayer. The electron transfer rate constants estimated by EIS agree with the PSCA results.

Abstract
Dendritic bis(terpyridine)iron(II) wires with terminal ferrocene units were synthesized on a Au(111) surface by stepwise coordination using a three-way terpyridine ligand, a ferrocene-modified terpyridine ligand, and Fe(II) ions. Potential-step chronoamperometry, which applied overpotentials to induce the redox of the terminal ferrocene, revealed an unusual electron-transport phenomenon. The current-time profile did not follow an exponential decay that is common for linear molecular wire systems. The nonexponentiality was more prominent in the forward electron-transport direction (from the terminal ferrocene to the gold electrode, oxidation) than in the reverse direction (from the gold electrode to the terminal ferrocenium, reduction). A plateau and a steep fall were observed in the former. We propose a simple electron transport mechanism based on intrawire electron hopping between two adjacent redox-active sites, and the numerical simulation thereof reproduced the series of "asymmetric" potential-step chronoamperometry results for both linear and branched bis(terpyridine)iron(II) wires.

Abstract
CONSPECTUS: Since the first description of coordination complexes, many types of metal-ligand interactions have creatively been used in the chemical sciences. The rich coordination chemistry of pyridine-type ligands has contributed significantly to the incorporation of diverse metal ions into functional materials. Here we discuss molecular assemblies (MAs) formed with a variety of pyridine-type compounds and a metal containing cross-linker (e.g., PdCl2(PhCN2)). These MAs are formed using Layer-by-Layer (LbL) deposition from solution that allows for precise fitting of the assembly properties through molecular programming. The position of each component can be controlled by altering the assembly sequence, while the degree of intermolecular interactions can be varied by the level of π-conjugation and the availability of metal coordination sites. By setting the structural parameters (e.g., bond angles, number of coordination sites, geometry) of the ligand, control over MA structure was achieved, resulting in surface-confined metal-organic networks and oligomers. Unlike MAs that are constructed with organic ligands, MAs with polypyridyl complexes of ruthenium, osmium, and cobalt are active participants in their own formation and amplify the growth of the incoming molecular layer. Such a self-propagating behavior for molecular systems is rare, and the mechanism of their formation will be discussed. These exponentially growing MAs are capable of storing metal salts that can be used during the buildup of additional molecular layers. Various parameters influencing the film growth mechanism will be presented, including (i) the number of binding sites and geometry of the organic ligands, (ii) the metal and the structure of the polypyridyl complexes, (iii) the influence of the metal cross-linker (e.g., second or third row transition metals), and (iv) the deposition conditions. By systematic variation of these parameters, switching between linear and exponential growth could be demonstrated for MAs containing structurally well-defined polypyridyl complexes. The porosity of the MAs has been estimated by using electrochemically active probes. Incorporating multiple polypyridyl complexes of osmium and ruthenium into a single assembly give rise to composite materials that exhibit interesting electrochemical and electrochromic properties. These functional composites are especially attractive as they exhibit properties that neither of each metal complex possesses individually. Some of our MAs have very high coloration efficiencies, redox stability, fast responsive times and operate at voltages < 1.5 V. Moreover, their electrochemical properties are dependent on the deposition sequence of the polypyridyl complexes, resulting in MAs that possesses distinctive electron transfer pathways. Finally, some of these MAs are described in terms of their practical applications in electrochromic materials, storage-release chemistry, solar cells, and electron transport properties.

Abstract
Superior long-range electric transport has been observed in several organometallic wires. Here, we discuss the role of the metal center in the electric transport and examine the possibility of high thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) by controlling the quantum resonance effects. We examined a few metal center (and metal-free) terpyridine-based complexes by first-principles calculations and clarified the role of the metals in determining the transport properties. Quasi-resonant tunneling is mediated by organic compounds, and narrow overlapping resonance states are formed when d-electron metal centers are incorporated. Distinct length (L) and temperature (T) dependencies of thermopower from semiconductor materials or organic molecular junctions are presented in terms of atomistic calculations of ZT with and without considering the phonon thermal conductance. We present an alternative approach to obtain high ZT for molecular junctions by quantum effect.

Abstract
The redox properties of copper pyridylpyrimidine complexes, which undergo linkage isomerism based on pyrimidine ring rotation, were compared under different coordination environments. A newly synthesized compound, [Cu(Mepypm)(L(Mes))]BF4 (1·BF4, Mepypm = 4-methyl-2-(2'-pyridyl)pyrimidine, L(Mes) = 2,9-dimesityl-1,10-phenanthroline) was compared with previously reported complexes of [Cu(MepmMepy)(L(Mes))]BF4 (2·BF4, MepmMepy = 4-methyl-2-(6'-methyl-2'-pyridyl)pyrimidine), Cu(Mepypm)(DPEphos)]BF4 (3·BF4, DPEphos = bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether), [Cu(Mepypm)(L(Anth))]BF4 (4·BF4, L(Anth) = 2,9-bis(9-anthryl)-1,10-phenanthroline), and [Cu(Mepypm)(L(Macro))]BF4 (5·BF4). Isomer ratios, isomerization dynamics, redox properties, and photoelectron conversion functions varied with the coordination structure. Methyl substituents on the 6-position of the pyridine moiety increased steric repulsion and contributed to quicker rotation, enhanced photoluminescence, and increased photodriven rotational isomerization.

Abstract
Formation of silicon-aryl and germanium-aryl direct bonds on the semiconductor surface is a key issue to realize molecular electronic devices, but the conventional methods based on radical intermediates have problems to accompany the side reactions. We developed the first example of versatile and efficient methods to form clean organic monolayers with Si-aryl and Ge-aryl bonds on hydrogen-terminated silicon and germanium surfaces by applying our original catalytic arylation reactions of hydrosilanes and hydrogermanes using Pd catalyst and base in homogeneous systems. We could immobilize aromatic groups with redox-active and photoluminescent properties, and further applied in the field of rigid π-conjugated redox molecular wire composites, as confirmed by the successive coordination of terpyridine molecules with transition metal ions. The surfaces were characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV), water contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), fluorescence spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Especially, the AFM analysis of 17 nm-long metal complex molecular wires confirmed their vertical connection to the plane surface.

Abstract
We studied electron transport of Ru complex multilayer films, whose structure resembles redox-active complex films known in the literature to have long-range electron transport abilities. Hydrogen bond formation in terms of pH control was used to induce spontaneous growth of a Ru complex multilayer. We made a cross-check between electrochemical measurements and I-V measurements using PEDOT:PSS to eliminate the risk of pinhole contributions to the mechanism and have found small β values of 0.012-0.021 Å(-1). Our Ru complex layers exhibit long-range electron transport but with low conductance. On the basis of the results of our theoretical-experimental collaboration, we propose a modified tunneling mechanism named the "stepping-stone mechanism", where the alignment of site potentials forms a narrow band around E(F), making resonant tunneling possible.

Abstract
Linear and branched Fe(tpy)(2) complex oligomer wires were quantitatively formed on hydrogen-terminated silicon wafers by means of hydrosilylation of ethynylterpyridine and following stepwise coordination reactions, and the redox property of surface-attached species and its photosensitivity can be controlled by the doping density of the silicon wafers.

Abstract
Surface junction effects on the electron conduction of p-phenylene-bridged bis(terpyridine)iron oligomers terminated with a ferrocene moiety were quantitatively analyzed by employing three different surface-anchoring terpyridine ligands. The dependence of the electron-transfer rate constant for oxidation of the ferrocene moiety, k(et), on the distance between the electrode surface and the ferrocene moiety, x, showed that the attenuation factor, beta(d), which indicates the degree of reduction of k(et) with x, was approximately 0.018 in all cases. However, the absolute k(et) value depended strongly on both electronic and steric factors of the surface-anchoring ligand.
