55. As previously observed (See: Ref. [17b]), the oxidation of chloride anion to chlorine occurs close to the second oxidation process associated with the TTF unit. As a consequence of the overlapping nature of these two oxidation processes, it is not possible to obtain any information as to whether complexation of chloride anions to compounds 1 or 2 also affects the second oxidation process associated with the TTF unit in these two compounds.
56. 2 and subsequently filtered though silica gel. Evaporation of the solvent afforded the corresponding thiol; these unprotected species were used directly without further purification.
57. The substrates were prepared by deposition of ≈ 5 nm of chrome followed by & 50 nm of gold onto a glass substrate using physical vapor deposition techniques and were made immediately before use.
