Glassy carbon electrodes functionalised with two redox centres have been prepared by using electrochemical and solid-phase synthetic methodologies. Initially the individual coupling of anthraquinone, nitrobenzene and dihydroxybenzene to a glassy carbon electrode bearing an ethylenediamine linker was optimised by using different coupling agents and conditions. Bifunctionalisation was then carried out, either simultaneously, with a mixture of nitrobenzene and dihydroxybenzene, or sequentially, with anthraquinone then nitrobenzene and with anthraquinone then dihydroxybenzene. Characterisation of these electrodes by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry clearly proved the attachment of the pairs of redox centres to the glassy carbon electrode. Their partial surface coverages can be controlled by varying the coupling agent or by controlling the substrate concentration during the solid-phase coupling process. Trifunctionalisation was also realised according to this methodology.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
