Abstract

Stöber silica nanoparticles with a diameter of approximately 800 nm are covalently modified by redox-active ferrocene or (diamine)(diphosphine) ruthenium(II) units attached to a spacer. The particles are characterized by NMR spectroscopic and chemical techniques. Two variants of modification by condensation are compared. Besides an estimation of the size and the particle porosity, the agglomeration behavior in solvents of different polarity is investigated. The adsorption of the particles to an electrode surface is followed.
