要旨

Indium–tin-dioxide (ITO) and Pt electrodes can be modified with films of the photo- and redox-active polymer of [Ru(4-methyl-4′-vinyl-2,2′-bipyridine)3]2+ ([Ru(vbpy)3]2+). These modified electrodes show photocurrents when K3[Co(ox)3] is reduced in a photoelectrochemical reaction. These photocurrents are, inter alia, dependent on the potential applied to the electrode assembly. The photocurrent s. voltage plots have maxima. Changing the potential means changing the driving force of the electrode reaction and we can interpret the maximum plots by Marcus' theory for reactions in the normal and inverted region. For the investigation of a chemical reaction, electrodes with larger surfaces are necessary. In the photo-assisted reduction of K3[Co(ox)3] by means of a reticulated Ni-foam electrode modified by a chiral redox active polymer of [Ru(vbpy)3]2+ we have found enantio-selectivity with κ=kΛ/kΔ of up to 12, one of the highest values of asymmetry reported for photochemical reactions. Modified electrodes, where the optically excited electron transferring species in the polymer is the chiral element, represent a new type of chiral inductor.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
