It is common to observe more than one type of interaction in a hybrid system between the electrode material and the anchored metal complex, with implications in understanding the system. Besides linkages created on purpose, axial coordination from a metal center to the electrode, depending on the available orientation of the immobilized compound, could be expected. In addition, possible inductive effects from electron-donating/withdrawing substitutions, through-space effects resulting from charged substitutions, and steric hindrance introduced by bulky substitutions on the molecular structure need to be considered. Since electrochemistry is evaluated in an electric cell, an electric field may impact the catalytic performance. Electrolytes and solvents also play a crucial role in altering catalytic behavior and are worth evaluating when engineering a hybrid system.
