Basicity of oxide bridge of dinuclear complexes changes remarkably with the change in the oxidation states of the metal ions. It is thus possible to control the interaction of the oxide bridge with various Lewis acids like metal ions by changing the metal oxidation states. This work aimed at preparing the electrodes with surface self-assembled monolayers of such metal complexes, and use them as reversible metal-ion binder and to establish the method for the step-wise construction of metal-complex oligomers. The results are summarized as follows.(1)Methods to construct Au self-assembled monolayers of polynuclear metal complexes have been established by using(i)mixed monolayers with alkyl sulfide and(ii)hydrogen bonding between the chains which contain C-CO-NH-groups.(2)Protoncoupled electron transfer behavior of the oxo-bridged biruthenium complexes on gold surface have been quantitatively investigated. Diiron alnalaogs which are considered as models of biological diiron centers and are unstable towards redox reactions in solution, have been successfully studied in terms of pH-potential profiles over pH range of 1 and 12. The pKa values of the oxidized and reduced forms have been estimated for the first time for the model Fe-O-Fe complexes.(3)Coupled redox reactions have been studied quantitatively with Lewis acids other than proton for the first time. Thus, for example, interaction of Al^<3+> ions at the oxide bridge is more sensitive to the metal ion oxidation states than protons.(4)Step-wise oligomerization of the trinuclear oxo-centered Ru complexes on Au electrode has been established by controlling the metal oxidation state. The method is promising in contructing various supramolecular assemblies on electrode surfaces.
