Abstract

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a mu 3-eta 2:eta 2:eta 2-C60 triosmium cluster complex Os3(CO)8(CN(CH2)3Si(OEt)3)(mu 3-eta 2:eta 2:eta 2-C60) (2) on ITO or Au surface exhibit ideal, well-defined electrochemical responses and remarkable electrochemical stability being reducible up to tetranionic species in their cyclic voltammograms.
