Efficient grafting of redox-active ferrocene polymers from α,ω-diiodoalkanes at cathodically charged glassy carbon

Efficient covalent capping of carbon and gold with TEMPO for catalysis and spin writing

Covalent immobilization of TEMPO at carbon and gold via an aliphatic -(CH₂)₆- linker was achieved via cathodic grafting of a diamagnetic precursor, tetramethylpiperidine, with subsequent >NH to >NO oxidation to give TEMPO-capped paramagnetic interfaces (Γ_TEMPO = 5.2 × 10^-10 mol cm^-2); catalytic and spin switching potential of the thus prepared systems was demonstrated.
