A monolayer assembly of anthracene-viologen linked thiol ($AMVC_{8}SH$) was fabricated on a gold electrode by self-assembly method. Structural property of the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was carried out by optical and electrochemical method. Firstly, we investigated PL spectrum and UV/visible absorption for the optical properties in solution state. Secondly, we determined the characteristics of charge transfer in different electrolyte solutions by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). From the data, the PL spectrum and UV/visible absorption were observed and the well-defined shape peaks were nearly equal charges during redox reactions and existed to an excellent linear relationship between the scan rates and existed to currents. The mass change was determined during redox reaction. The mass change behavior of SAMs was not only governed by the mobility of the ion in the viologen but the valence of the ion in the electrolyte solution.

This paper reports the preparation of an ink-jet printed flexible electrochromic device based on a water-soluble viologen-functionalized dendrimer. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers were modified with different concentrations of 1-1 bis(propylamine)-4,4'-bipyridylium dibromides to obtain solution-processable electrochromic materials (K1/2 and K1). FTIR, NMR, and elemental analyses are used to characterize synthesized viologens. Moreover, their electrochemical properties were investigated using cyclic voltammetry in an electrolyte solution consisting of 0.1 M HCl to find the optimum viologens. The low-cost ink-jet printer was used to print the prepared water-soluble electrochromic inks onto the ITO coated PET substrate to form desired transparent patterns. The electrolyte was applied on the printed electrochromic ink to make a sandwich with another ITO coated PET to prepare the electrochromic devices (ECD). By applying an electrical potential (0 to -2 V), the transparent ECD's color changed from colorless to blue. The color changes for the optimum ECD (K1), which had more viologen units on the dendrimer, was accompanied by an optical contrast of 47% and 311.5 ㎠C-1 coloration efficiency at 600 nm.

A new viologen derivative namely 1,1'-bis(3,4-dihydroxybutyl)-[4,4'-bipyridine]-1,1'-diium bromide (V-Pr-2OH) was synthesized and applied as a cathode buffer layer to inverted polymer solar cells (PSCs) based on the blend of PTB7 : $PC_{71}BM$. PSCs with the structure of ITO/V-Pr-2OH/PTB7 : $PC_{71}BM/MoO_3/Ag$ as the cathode buffer layer showed the power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 7.28%, which is comparable to that of the PSCs with the structure of ITO/ZnO/PTB7 : $PC_{71}BM/MoO_3/Ag$ (7.44%) in the absence of V-Pr-2OH. This study demonstrates that a highly efficient PSCs without any high temperature heat treatment can be obtained.

For the development of preferable immunosensor and protein chip, the viologen Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) multilayer was fabricated on the surface, and then protein A was adsorbed on the proposed viologen LB film by electrostatic attractive force. The Immunoglobulin G (IgG) labeled with fluorescence marker was self-assembled on the fabricated protein A film. The topographies of the deposited films were investigated by using atomic force microscope (AFM). The immobilization of IgG was verified by fluorescence spectrum. Such structures can be used as sublayers for various kinds of IgG immobilization toward immunosensors and protein chip.

본 연구에서는 electron acceptor로서 널리 이용되는 viologen의 전하 이동에 대하여 연구하였다. 자기조립법을 이용하여 단분자막을 형성하였으며, 그 형성과정은 수정진동자의 공진주파수와 공진저항을 이용하여 실시간으로 분석하였다. 두 단계의 가역적인 산화환원 반응시의 전하 이동을 정량적, 정성적으로 분석하기 위하여 전기화학 분석 방법 중 cyclic voltammetry법을 행하였으며, 단분자막이 형성된 수정진동자를 작업전극으로 사용하였다.

Electrochrominm is a phenomenon of reversible change in optical properties produced electrochromically. Among the several organic type electrochromic displays(ECD), the one based on viologen solution is still attractive and become of the possibility for choosing various colors by introducing different substituents in viologen molecules. But these has been rather a severe problem in this type of ECD, which is the erasing failure caused by the recrystallized molecule sticking to the display electrode.This paper was investigated on developing a new class of composite materials which consists of the mixture of BV2+ . 2BF4-, TMPD with TBABF4 as supporting electrolyte to overcome the above mentioned problem of viologen solution.

Enhancing the electrical conductivity of the ultrathin organic films is one of the important factors for the development of molecular electronic devices. The Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique has recently been attracted interest as the a method of deposition ultrathin films. We have fabricated N-docosyl-N'-methyl viologen-diTCNQ(DMVT) anion radical LB film and investigated the optical and electrical conductivity. We have measured UV/visible and FT-lR spectrum. In ESR spectrum, we confirmed that a half-amplitude linewidth is clearly dependent on both temperature and incident angle, which indicates conducting species change. The in-plane electrical conductivity of 21 layers is approximately 1.37$\times$10$^{-6}$ (S/cm).

Hydrogen produced by cells of grown Chlorobium limicola f. thiosulfatophilum NCIB 8327 on modified Pfennig's medium containing glutamate as a major nitrogen source, was measured by amperometric method. In this system, oxygen, light. ammonia, methionine sulfoximine, NADPH, ATP, methyl viologen and benzyl viologen are affected. The production of hydrogen in intact cells depends on light intensity. It is also inhibited by adding ammonium ions, but restores immediately by adding methionine sulfoximine. Considering these results, the production of hydrogen in this strain can be mediated by nitrogenase.

Here we report a highly sensitive and stable detection of $NAD^+$ and NADH by the electrode on which diaphorase (DI) is covalently immobilized in viologen polymer network. The network is prepared by the covalent formation of the structure by mixing propylamine viologen (PAV), poly(ethylene glycol)(400) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE), an diaphorase (DI). The PAV/PEGDGE/DI modified electrode has the sensitivity of $0.02nA{\cdot}{\mu}M$ and the detection limit of $3{\mu}M$ with a response time of 2 s ($t_{90%}$) for NADH sensing.

Effects of artificial electron donors to deliver reducing power on enzymic denitrification were investigated using nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase obtained from Ochrobactrum antroyi. The activity of nitrite reductase in the soluble portion was almost the same as that in the precipitated portion of the cell extract. Nitrate removal efficiency was higher with benzyl viologen than with methyl viologen or NADH as an artificial electron donor. The turn-over numbers of nitrate and nitrite reductase were 14.1 and 1.9 umol of nitrogen reduced/min$.$mg cell extracts, respectively when benzyl viologen was used as an electron donor.
