The $[Ru(v-bpy)_3]^{2+}$ and vinylbenzoic acid (vba) were electrochemically copolymerized to afford electrodes modified with dopamine to study their properties such as electropolymerization rate, redox process, and electron transfer. The optimum mole ratio of the monomers was 5:2, which gave $1.84{ imes}10^{-2}s^{-1}$ of rate constant for first order reaction, while the ratio of the substances on the copolymeric film produced was 5:1.68. The formal potential produced from the hydroquinone=quinone+$2H^+2e^-$reaction at the electrode of GC/p- $[Ru(v-bpy)_3]^{2+}$/vba-dopamine was 0.17 V in phosphate buffer (pH=7.10). The electrocatalytic rate was $2.58{ imes}10^5cms^{-1}$;2.41 times faster than that of non-modified one. The mass change measured by EQCM was $3.28{ imes}10^3$$gmol^{-1}$ which is larger than that of non-modified one.

Electrodes of the polycationic film with electropolymerized $[Ru(v-bpy)_3]^{2+}$ having about 1:1 ratio of $PF6^-/ClO_4^-$as the doped counter ions, were modified with xylenol orange and diethylditbiocarbamate by ion exchange which had stability constant as 38.6 and 17.5 respectively. These electrodes were employed in the quantitative multiple determination of U(W) in solution. The working electrode of electrochemical cell for the analytical signal was Pt/p-$[Ru(v-bpy)_3]^{2+}$, ligand, U(VI) with Ag/AgCl reference elecrode. In the stripping voltammetry. electrode process was electron transfer controlled one and calibration curves at the ranges of $1.0{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}1.0{\times}10^{-7}$ M had excellent relationship as 0.99 and relative standard deviation as 5${\sim}$8%.

Polyamine dendrimers functionalized with electrochemiluminescent (ECL) polypyridyl Ru(II) complexes, dend-$[CO-(CH_2)_3-mbpy{\cdot}Ru(L)_2]_3(PF_6)_6$ (dend: N$(CH_2CH_2NH)_3$-, L: bpy, o-phen, phen-Cl, DTDP), were synthesized through the complexation of dendritic polypyridyl ligands to Ru(II) complexes. Their electrochemical redox potentials, photoluminescence (PL), and relative ECL intensities were studied. The ECL emissions produced by the reaction between the electro-oxidized $Ru^{3+}$ species of polyamine dendrimers and tripropylamine as a coreactant were measured in a static system with potential cycles between 0.8 and 1.3 V or through flow injection analysis with a potential of +1.3 V, and were compared to that of $[Ru(o-phen)_3](PF_6)_2{\cdot}Dend-[CO-(CH_2)_3-mbpy{\cdot}Ru(bpy)_2]_3(PF_6)_6$ showed an ECL intensity that was two-fold greater than that of the reference complex $[Ru(o-phen)_3](PF_6)_2$.

Electrodes modified with threonine, methionine and serine as ligands, which are incorporated by ion exchange into a polycationic film of electropolymerized $[Ru(v-bpy)_3]^{2+}$, have been employed in the determination of mercury in solution. The redox response of the surface-immobilized mercury/ligand complex was used as the analytical signal. When the polymeric film was electropolymerized, the supporting electrolytes were TBAP and $KPF_6$ to compare the morphology and anodic stripping of resulted polymer electrodes. At the case of the latter, the film had high porosity to give an easy incorporation of dopant anions into polymeric film matrix and a high sensitivity in determination of mercury ion. Especially, this polymer modified electrode exhibited possibility of multiple use in mercury determination over ten times. In all cases, calibration curves which were plotted by log of the surface coverage-normalized redox response vs. log[Hg] exhibited an excellent correlation (r=0.99) for mercury concentrations ranging from 1.0{\times}10^{-8}{\sim}1.0{\times}10^{-2}M$. At these curves relative standard deviation was 5∼8% and saturation response was not observed at high concentration region. Serine of the employed ligands had the best sensitivity in analytical application, which had greater stability constant in forming a complex with mercury than others as $pK_{Hg}=8.54$. The formation constants of threonine and methionine were respectively 7.04 and 7.80.

We report Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods synthesis and electrochemical luminescence (ECL) cell fabrication. The ECL cell was fabricated using the electrode of ZnO nanorods and Ru(II) complex ($Ru(bpy)_3{^{2+}}$) as a luminescence materials. The fabricated ECL cell is composed of F-doped $SnO_2$ (FTO) glass/ Ru(II)/ZnO nanorods/FTO glass. The highest intensity of the emitting light was obtained at the wavelength of ~620 nm which corresponds to dark-orange color. At a bias voltage of 3V, the measured ECL efficiencies were 5 $cd/m^2$ for cell without ZnO nanorod, 145 $cd/m^2$ for ZnO nanorods-$5{\mu}m$, 208 $cd/m^2$ for ZnO nanorods-$8{\mu}m$ and 275 $cd/m^2$ for ZnO nanorods-$10{\mu}m$, respectively. At a bias voltage of 3.5V, the use of ZnO nanorods increases ECL intensities by about 3 times compared to the typical ECL cell without the use of ZnO nanorods.
