An amperometric glucose biosensor has been developed using viologen derivatives as a charge transfer mediator between a glucose oxidase (GOD) and a gold electrode. A highly stable self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of thiol-based viologen was immobilized onto the gold electrode of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and GOD was immobilized onto the viologen modified electrode. This biosensor response to glucose was evaluated amperometrically in the potential of -300mV. Upon immobilization of the glucose oxidase onto the viologen modified electrode, the biosensor showed rapid response towards glucose. Experimental conditions influencing the biosensor performance, such as pH potential, were optimized and assessed. This biosensor offered excellent electrochemical responses for glucose concentration below ${\mu}$ mol level with high sensitivity and selectivity and short response time. The levels of the RSDs (<5%) for the entire analyses reflected the highly reproducible sensor performance. A linear calibration range between the current and the glucose concentration was obtained up to $4.5{\times}10^{-4}M$. The detection limit was determined to be $3.0{\times}10^{-6}M$.

Molecular self-assembled of surfactant viologen are of recent interest because they can from functional electrodes as well as micellar assemblies, which can be Profitably utilized for display devices, photoelectrochemical studies and electrocatalysis as electron acceptor or electron mediator. Fromherz et al studied the self-assembly of thiol and disulfide derivatives of viologens bearing long n-alkyl chains on Au electrode surface. The electrochemical behavior of self-assembled viologen monolayer has been investigated with QCM, which has been known as nano-gram order mass detector. The self-assembly process of viologen was monitored using resonant frequency (${\Delta}$F) and resonant resistance (R). The redox process of viologen was observed with resonant frequency (${\Delta}$F).

An amperometric glucose biosensor has been developed using viologen derivatives as electron mediator of glucose oxidase (GOD) at Au electrode. Highly stable self assembled monolayer (SAM) of thiol-based viologen is immobilized onto the Au electrode followed byGOD is immobilized onto the viologen modified electrode. This biosensor response to glucose was evaluated amperometrically in the potential of -300 mV. Upon immobilization of glucose oxidase onto the viologen modified-electrode, the biosensor showed rapid response towards glucose. Experimental conditions influencing the biosensor performance such as, pH, potential were optimized and assessed. This biosensor offered an excellent electrochemical response for glucose concentration below ${\mu}mol$ level with high sensitivity and selectivity and short response time. The levels of the RSD's (< 5 %) for the entire analyses reflected the highly reproducible sensor performance. Using the optimized a linear relationship between current and glucose concentration was obtained up to $4.5{\times}10^{-4}$ M. In addition, this biosensor showed well reproducibility and stability.

The porphyrin-incorporated arylether dendrimers ZnP-D1 and ZnP-D4 were investigated to discover the influence of dendritic environments for the axial ligation of pyridine and photoinduced electron transfer by methyl viologen. Absorption and fluorescence spectra of ZnP, ZnP-D1, and ZnP-D4 were measured in dichloromethane with the addition of pyridine or methyl viologen dichloride. Axial ligation of pyridine was confirmed by red-shifted absorption spectrum. The complex formation constants $K_f$ (Table 1) for axial coordination of pyridine on ZnP, ZnP-D1, and ZnP-D4 were estimated to be $4.4{\times}10^3\;M^{-1}$, $3.3{\times}10^3\;M^{-1}$, and $1.7{\times}10^3\;M^{-1}$, respectively. The photoinduced electron transfer to methyl viologen dichloride was confirmed by fluorescence quenching. Stern-Volmer constants Ksv for ZnP, ZnP-D1, and ZnP-D4 were calculated to be $2.6{\times}10^3$, $2.5{\times}10^3$, and $2.1{\times}10^3$, respectively. ZnP-D4 surrounded by 4 aryl ether dendrons shows the smallest $K_f$ and Ksv values, with comparison to ZnP and ZnP-D1.

We fabricated self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) onto quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) using viologen, which has been widely used as electron acceptor and electron transfer mediator. We determined the time dependence on resonant frequency shift during self-assembly process and observed the morphology of self-assembled monolayers by STM and investigated the electrochemical behavior of SAMs by cyclic voltammetry. Electrochemical deposition of viologen was investigated using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance(EQCM). The redox reactions of viologen were highly reversible and the EQCM has been employed to monitor the electrochemically induced adsorption of SAMs during the redok reactions. The total frequency change was about 9.5 Hz, and 7.1 Hz. From the data, we could know the mass change was about 10.16 ng and 7.60 ng, respectively. Finally, the EQCM has been employed to monitor the electrochemically induced adsorption of self-assembled monolayers on Au surfaces.

We demonstrate the electrochromic properties of $TiO_2$ nanotubes prepared by an anodization process and investigate the effects of heat treatment and viologen incorporation on them. The morphology and crystal structure of anodized $TiO_2$ nanotubes are investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. As-formed $TiO_2$ nanotubes have straight tubular layers with an amorphous structure. As the annealing temperature increases, the anodized $TiO_2$ nanotubes are converted to the anatase and rutile phases with some cracks on the tube surface and irregular morphology. Electrochemical results reveal that amorphous $TiO_2$ nanotubes annealed at $150^{\circ}C$ have the largest oxidation/reduction current, which leads to the best electrochromic performance during the coloring/bleaching process. Viologen-anchored $TiO_2$ nanotubes show superior electrochromic properties compared to pristine $TiO_2$ nanotubes, which indicates that the incorporation of a viologen can be an effective way to enhance the electrochromic properties of $TiO_2$ nanotubes.

본 연구에서는 광에너지를 화학적인 에너지로 변환할 때, 디바이스의 전하전달 매개를 위한 electron transfer mediator로서 널리 이용되는 Viologen이 자기조립화된 수정진동자률 전기화학법의 하나인 순환전압전류법(Cyclic Voltammetry)을 이용하여 산화 환원 반응 (redox reaction) 특성과 주사속도와 피크전류와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 먼저 수정진동자를 친수 처리한 후, 메탄올 용액과 아세토니트릴 용액을 섞은 용매에 Viologen 분자를 자기조립 (self-assembly)하여, 전해질 용액의 농도 변화에 따른 산화 환원반응 특성과 피크전류의 값을 측정하였다 주사 속도를 2 배씩 증가하여 피크전류와의 상관관계를 조사한 결과, 선형적인 증가를 보였으며, 이를 통해 가역적인 반응(reversible reaction)이 일어났음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 산화 환원 반응과 동시에 측정된 수정진동자의 공진 주파수(resonant frequency) 변화로부터 전하이동(charge transfer) 특성에 의해 반응에 참가한 이온의 질량을 알 수 있었다.

In the initial process of photosynthesis, a biological electron transfer system, photoelectric conversion occurs and then long-range electron transfer takes place very efficiently in one direction through the biomolecules. The metal/insulator/metal structured device consisting of GFP, viologen, cytochrome c hetero-thin film was presented based on the biomimesis. GFP, viologen, and cytochrome c was used as an electron sensitizer, a mediator, and an electron acceptor. Cytochrome c molecules and viologen molecules were deposited by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, and GFP molecules were adsorbed by self-assembly method (SAM). Surface morphology of hetero-thin film was analyzed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Local photoswitching effects of a proposed photodiode were verified by current-voltage measurements using hybrid STM/I-V measurement system.

In conducting systems based on LB films, TCNQ derivatives have been extensively studied as electron acceptor molecules. We have investigated the optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of Viologen-(TCNQ￣)$_2$LB films. In UV/visible absorption measurements, we have observed TCNQ￣ peak at 380 nm and dimer peak at 620 nm. The electron spin resonance measurements infer that Viologen-(TCNQ￣)$_2$LB film exhibits anisotropic properly. In other words, the LB film shows angular dependence. Iodine doping affects the degree of charge transfer and the conductivity of the films. The UV/visible absorption spectra of the LB film doped with I$_2$show peaks at near 400~430 nm and there is no dimer absorption peak. The in-plane electrical conductivity of the undoped film is approximately 4.2$\times$10$^{-6}$ S/cm.

Benzyl viologen의 전기 변색특성을 조사했다. 인가전압 2.6 V에서는 강한 전기변색 응답성을 나타내지만 반복 내구성이 뛰어나지 못하다. 이러한 현상은 전기 변색소자의 투명 유리전극인 ITO막이 전장하에서 손상을 입기 때문이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 전압인가 전후의 ITO막의 면저항, XRD, SEM 결과로 부터 ITO막이 마모됨이 입증되었다.
