The phosphonated ruthenium complex, [Ru(tpy-PO(3)H(2))(OH(2))(3)](2+) (1) (tpy-PO(3)H(2) = 4'-phosphonato-2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine), was synthesized and attached to glass|ITO or glass|ITO|TiO(2) electrodes. After attachment to the metal oxide surface through the phosphonate linkage, 1 can be oxidized (either chemically or electrochemically) to the reactive Ru(VI)-dioxo complex, glass|ITO|[((HO)(2)OP)tpy)RuVI(O)(2)(OH(2))](2+), which remains attached to the surface. The attached Ru(VI) complex reacts with benzyl alcohol through mechanisms similar to those proposed for the solution analog. More specifically, Ru(VI) is reduced in a stepwise fashion to Ru(IV) and then finally to Ru(II). The reduction of Ru(VI) is accompanied by a rate-limiting insertion to the C-H bond of benzyl alcohol, followed by solvolysis of the aldehyde hydrate. In addition, the surface-bound Ru(VI) acts as an electrooxidation catalyst which carries out approximately 130 (2e(-)) turnovers before deactivation.
