Abstract

We fabricated self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) onto quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) using viologen, which has been widely used as electron acceptor and electron transfer mediator. We determined the time dependence to resonant frequency shift during self-assembly process and observed the morphology of self-assembled mono layers by STM and investigated the electrochemical behavior of SAMs by cyclic voltammetry. Electrochemical deposition of viologen was investigated using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance(EQCM). The redox reactions of viologen were highly reversible and the EQCM has been employed to monitor the electrochemically induced adsorption of SAMs during the redox reactions.
