Ordered, activation effects electrochemical behavior

Electrochemical behavior of indole-3-propionamide derivatives (Fig. 27) was investigated in order to establish experimental conditions for the electrochemical oxidation and determination of these derivatives using a glassy carbon electrode [158]. Cyclic voltammetry has been used in studying the redox mechanism that is related to antioxidant activity of the derivatives. The results showed that the compounds might have profound effects on the understanding of their in vivo redox processes and pharmaceutical activity. Indole-... 

As discussed in Chapter 4, a wide variety of functionalized alkane thiols, HS(CH2) -2, where 5 < n < 16, form highly ordered self-assembled monolayers. As illustrated in Figure 5.1, redox-active species can be covalently bound to these bridges. The seminal work of Chidsey [2], Acevedo and Abruna [3] and Finklea and Hanshew [4] has demonstrated that electroactive adsorbed monolayers can exhibit close to ideal reversible electrochemical behavior under a wide variety of experimental conditions of time-scale, temperature, solvent and electrolyte. These studies have elucidated the effects of electron transfer distance, tunneling...
