Abstract

-2-isocyano-2'-mercapto-1,1',3,3'-tetraethoxycarbonyl-6,6'-biazulene)] self-assembled on the Au(111) surface. By uniting redox tunability with rigorous linear free-energy correlations, this work offers both a versatile molecular platform and a straightforward electrochemical strategy for expanding and refining the Hammett parameter domain.
