Self-Assembled Monolayers with Hydroquinone Incorporation

Self-Assembled Monolayers with Hydroquinone Incorporation 

The incorporation of electroactive hydroquinone moieties into SAMs has also been utihzed to generate electroactive monolayers. Hydroquinone moieties can be reduced by electrochemical oxidation to generate benzoquinone and this has been used to release Hgands attached to a substrate surface [12]. For example, Yeo et al. detached Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic acid (RG D) peptides, which function as a cell adhesive, from the substrate surface this triggered the release of cells adhered to the peptides [13]. Furthermore, benzoquinone units resulting from this reduction
