1. An electrochemically detectable compound of the formula embedded imagewhereinR and R1 are the same or different and are 2,2′

  • -bipyridyl, 4,4′

    -disubstituted-2,2′

    -bipyridyl, 5-5′

    -disubstituted,-2,2′

    -bipyridyl, 1,10-phenanthrolinyl, 4,7-disubstituted-1,10-phenanthrolinyl, or 5,6-disubstituted-1,10-phenanthrolinyl, wherein each substituent is a methyl, ethyl, or phenyl group, R5 is 4-substituted-2,2′

    -bipyridyl or 4,4′

    -disubstituted-2,2′

    -bipyridyl wherein the 4-substituent is the group B—

    (L)k

    Q(CH2)i— and

    the 4′

    -substituent is a methyl, ethyl or phenyl group;

    R, R1 and R5 are coordinated to Os through their nitrogen atoms;

    Q is O, S, or NR4 wherein R4 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl;



    L—

    is a divalent linker;

    k is 1 or 0;

    i is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6;

    B is hydrogen or a group comprising a ligand that binds to a specific binding partner;

    d is +2 or +3;

    X and Y are anions selected from monovalent anions chloride, bromide, iodide, fluoride, tetrafluoroborate, perchlorate, and nitrate and divalent anions sulfate, carbonate or sulfite wherein x and y are independently 0, 1, 2, or 3 so that the net charge of XxYy is −
