Abstract:
1. A redox-active substrate comprising a Group III, IV, or V element having attached thereto a redox-active molecule where: said redox-active molecule is covalently attached to the surface of said Group III, IV, or V element through an attachment group; said redox-active molecule is stable at a temperature of at least about 300° C.; said redox-active molecule is an organic molecule selected from the group consisting of a porphyrin, a porphyrinic macrocycle, an expanded porphyrin, a contracted porphyrin, a linear porphyrin polymer, a porphyrinic sandwich coordination complex, and a porphyrin array; and said covalent attachment is not by a silane.
