Abstract

The gold electrode was modified with a derivative compound of Schiff base. Cyclic voltammetric technique was used to investigate the electrochemical behavior of the electrode. An electrochemical irreversible reduction/oxidation process of the schiff base molecule in 0.1 mol·L-1 KCl solution was found. Electrochemical study shows that the apparent electron-transfer rate constant (kapp) decreases with the increasing of assembled time. Considering the effecting factors on the apparent electron-transfer rate, we deduced that the main factor effecting Schiff bases electrochemical behavior is the interaction force between the Schiff bases molecules. This interaction affects the changing of structure during the electrochemical redox process.
