Electrochemical Measurements. The cyclic voltammetry (CV)
experiment was performed in distilled, Ar-degassed DMF containing 1
mM RuPE and 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) at
room temperature using an electrochemical analyzer (CH Instru-

and saturated calomel electrode (SCE) were used as the working,
counter, and reference electrodes, respectively.

tube X-ray source (50 kV × 30 mA) using graphite-monochromated

were determined using a set of 45 narrow-frame (0.3° in ω) scans.
The double-pass method of scanning was used to exclude noise. The
collected frames were integrated using an orientation matrix
determined from the narrow-frame scans. The SMART software
