Abstract

Abstract : PTM radical exhibits effective redox-mediated enhancement of tunnelling current, demonstrating its applicability as an active nanoelectronic component. Abstract : A redox-active persistent perchlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical chemically linked to gold exhibits stable electrochemical activity in ionic liquids. Electrochemical tunnelling spectroscopy in this medium demonstrates that the PTM radical shows a highly effective redox-mediated current enhancement, demonstrating its applicability as an active nanometer-scale electronic component.
