Surface-modified electrodes based on nickel(II) and copper(II) bis(salicylaldimine) complexes

Electrochemistry of Poly(3,4‐alkylenedioxythiophene) Derivatives

“…[143] Co II -salen complexes have also been incorporated between two EDOT units 60. [144] Modified electrodes based on polysalenes are easily obtained by electrochemical polymerizations of metal salen monomers, [145] but usually these polymers are poorly conduct- The redox activity and resultant change of conductivity of conducting polymers makes them ideal candidates for sensors of biological redox processes.…”

Structural and electrochemical characterisation of [Pd(salen)]-type conducting polymer films

“…[M(salen)]-type complexes (M = transition metal) have been studied in this context due to the robustness of the salen ligand and its ability to coordinate several transition metal centres [7]. Since the first studies of poly[M(salen)] (M = Ni, Cu) modified electrodes by Goldsby and co-workers [8][9][10], several groups have explored these polymers [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Despite detailed electrochemical and spectroscopic studies, there is no consensus concerning the mechanism of electronic conduction.…”

Mediated Electrocatalysis at the Electrodes Covered with [MIII(bpy)3](ClO4)3 (M=Co and Fe) in the Presence of Electroactive Solutes

“…Generally, there are two methods for forming coatings containing polypyridyl complexes on electrode surfaces: incorporation of ionic bipyridine complexes of transition metals into a suitable polymeric matrix [28 ± 30] or electropolymerization of bipyridine transition metal complexes with reactive functional groups. These functional groups include vinyl groups [31,32], aromatic amines [33,34], pyrroles [35,36] or thiophenes [37]. Recently we have reported that layers of 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) complexes of transition metals can be formed by electrooxidation of [M II (bpy) 3 ] 2 in low dielectric constant media such as toluene/acetonitrile mixtures [38,39].…”
