Mediated electrochemical oxidation of a fully encapsulated redox active center.
While the direct electrochemical oxidation of ferrocene encapsulated inside a dimeric molecular capsule is essentially suppressed, a cationic ferrocene derivative binds to the capsule's external surface and acts as an effective electrochemical mediator.
