Decoration of Cowpea Mosaic Virus with Multiple, Redox-Active, Organometallic Complexes

Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) particles have been decorated on their external surface with 240 redox‐active, organometallic, ferrocenecarboxylate moieties (see Figure). The multiple redox centers behave as electronically isolated units and the electrochemical reaction is diffusion controlled. This expa...

Description
Summary:Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) particles have been decorated on their external surface with 240 redox‐active, organometallic, ferrocenecarboxylate moieties (see Figure). The multiple redox centers behave as electronically isolated units and the electrochemical reaction is diffusion controlled. This expands the versatility of CPMV as a nanoscaffold for electrochemical biosensor or nanoelectronic device applications.
