SummaryGlassy carbon and gold electrodes were coated with 1-hydroxyphenazine, and the electrochemical properties of these electrodes were tested using them as a rotating disc electrode to reduce Ru ( b i~y )~~+ , (Ell2 = -460 mV vs. SCE. on a Hg-electrode in 1 M HC1) takes place at -100 mV.The heterogeneous rate constant depends on the second order reaction between the attached coating and the redox couple in solution. Depending on this rate constant, selectivity of the electrode is observed.Introduction. -Recently, there has been an increasing interest in electrochemistry of so-called chemically modified electrodes. These electrodes are prepared by attaching irreversibly an electroactive substance to a conducting material (eg. on Pt, graphite, glassy carbon). The attachment may be obtained by coating with a polymer [ 1-81, chemical binding [9-181, or This report describes some electrochemical properties of these electrodes.
