Abstract

Reaction of [Pt6(CO)4(PtBu2)4Cl2] with excess HS(CH2)4SH in Et2NH gave highly stable [Pt6(CO)4(PtBu2)4{S(CH2)4SH}2], which adsorbs unchanged onto gold surfaces. This permitted the fabrication and electrical characterisation of gold|molecule|gold junctions involving a well-defined metal carbonyl cluster compound.
