Charge Transfer Property of Self-Assembled Viologen Monolayer by Resonant Frequency Shift of QCM

Viologen derivative has been widely investigated because of their well-electrochemical behavior including the electron acceptor for the electric charge delivery mediation of the devices. The viologen exist in three main oxidation states, namely, $V^{2+}{\rightleftarrows}V^{{\cdot}+}{\rightleftarrows}V^0$. These redox reactions are highly reversible and can be cycled many times without significant side reaction. In this paper, we determined the time dependence to resonant frequency shift of QCM during self-assembly process and the electrochemical behavior of the self-assembled viologen monolayers by electrochemical QCM method. 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.
