Abstract: Ambipolar charge transport confined to a self-assembled monolayer of a heteroleptic ruthenium complex anchored on the surface of mesoscopic oxides was observed. The bipyridyl ligands of the Ru-complex transport electrons, while the NCS group plays an important role in mediating surface confined hole percolation.
