1. A method of detecting a target analyte in a test sample comprising:

  • a) adding said sample to a solution comprising a compound comprising;

    i) a solvent accessible transition metal complex with a first redox potential;

    ii) a linker comprising an alkyl chain terminating in a pyridine; and

    iii) a binding ligand that binds said target analyte;

    wherein said solvent accessible transition metal complex is covalently attached to said binding ligand by said linker;

    such that upon binding of said analyte to said binding ligand, a solvent inhibited transition metal complex is formed with a second redox potential; and

    b) detecting said second redox potential as an indication of the presence of said target analyte.
