The assembly of Cr(bpy)/sub 3//sup 3 +/ (bpy = bipyridine) into montmorillonite face surface holes can be monitored at clay modified electrodes. Close packing onto the surface occurs after all charge sites are occupied. Close packing results in enantiomeric and valence selectivity. The diffusion coefficient for Cr(bpy)/sub 3//sup 3 +/ in montmorillonite is 7 /times/ 10/sup /minus/12/ cm/sup 2//s. The partition coefficient into the clay is 9.4 /times/ 10/sup 3/. Isopotential points in the cyclic voltammograms demonstrate a rate-limiting hole association of Cr(bpy)/sub 3//sup 3 +/.
