Spontaneous electrodeposition of gold and platinum complexes through a coronene adlayer on Au(111).
The electrodeposition of gold and platinum complexes at the electrochemical interfaces on the coronene-modified Au(111) surface was investigated. Scanning tunneling microscopy revealed the spontaneous deposition of gold and platinum complexes, suggesting that the coronene adlayer plays an important role in the electroreduction of these complexes.
