In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of Viologen self assembly monolayer has been investigated with QCM, which has been known as nano-gram order mass detector. The self assemvly process of Viologen was monitored using resonant frequency $({\Delta}F)$ and resonant resistance(R). QCM measurements indicated a mass adsorption for Viologen assembling on the gold sufrace with a frequency change about 135[Hz] and calculated its surface coverage($\Gamma$) to be $3.5273{\times}10^{-9}[mol/cm^{2}]$. Also reversible redox process was observed and analyzed with ionic interaction at the Viologen/solution interface using ${\Delta}F$.

Molecular self-assembled of surfactant viologen are of recent interest because they can from functional electroeds as well as micellar assemblies. which can be profitably utilized for display devices. photoelectrochemical studies and electrocatalysis as electron acceptor or electron mediator[1-3]. Fromherz et al studied the se1f-assembly of thiol and disulfide derivatives of viologens bearing long n-alkyl chains on Au electrode surface[4]. In this study, the electrochemical behavior of self-assembled viologen monolayer has been investigated with QCM, which has been known as nano-gram order mass detector. The self-assembly process of viologen was monitored using resonant frequency$({\Delta}F)$ and resonant resistance(R). The redox process of viologen was observed with resonant frequency$({\Delta}F)$.
