A novel ferrocenyl disulfide of the type ω,ω‘-dithiobis[alkyl(dimethyl)(ferrocenylmethyl)ammonium bromide] was synthesized and coassembled with nonanethiol on vapor deposited Au(111) electrode surfaces. The coassembled ferrocene-based cationic guest monolayer assembly was found to bind with β- and γ-cyclodextrins to form stable host−guest complexes. The cyclodextrin hosts are believed to interact with the monolayer assembly in two ways: by inclusion of the ferrocene moiety within the cyclodextrin cavity and by interactions between the counterions (e.g., Br-, PF6-, or ClO4-) and the hydrophilic planes of the cyclodextrin molecules. Interactions between the monolayer and cyclodextrin are manifested primarily by a decrease in the voltammetric oxidation current for the surface-bound ferrocenyl redox centers after exposure to dilute solutions (e.g., 10 μM) of the cyclodextrin hosts. This decrease in electrochemical activity stems from the restricted access of charge-compensating anions to the ferrocenyl redox...
