Abstract
We report a diazonium electro-grafting method for the covalent modification of conducting surfaces with aldehyde-reactive hydroxylamine functionalities that facilitate the wiring of redox-active (bio)molecules to electrode surfaces. Hydroxylamine near-monolayer formation is achieved via a phthalimide-protection and hydrazine-deprotection strategy that overcomes the multilayer formation that typically complicates diazonium surface modification. This surface modification strategy is characterized using electrochemistry (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring. Thus-modified glassy carbon, boron-doped diamond, and gold surfaces are all shown to ligate to small molecule aldehydes, yielding surface coverages of 150-170, 40, and 100 pmol cm-2, respectively. Bioconjugation is demonstrated via the coupling of a dilute (50 μM) solution of periodate-oxidized horseradish peroxidase enzyme to a functionalized gold surface under biocompatible conditions (H2O solvent, pH 4.5, 25 °C).

Abstract
In this work, we synthesized electroactive and degradable microgels based on biomacromolecular building blocks, which enable the controlled release of therapeutic drugs. Functional chitosan-poly(hydroquinone) (Ch:PHQ) microgels exhibiting redox-active and pH-sensitive properties were synthesized by an oxidative polymerization in an inverse miniemulsion system. Physically crosslinked microgels were formed by polymerization of hydroquinone in the presence of chitosan through the formation of hydrogen bonds between PHQ and Ch. A series of microgel samples with variable Ch : PHQ ratios were synthesized. These obtained microgels exhibit pH-responsive properties due to the protonation/deprotonation of amino-groups of chitosan in the microgel system. Poly(hydroquinone) is a redox-active polymer exhibiting a two-electron/proton-transfer behavior and conveys this property to the microgels as confirmed by cyclic voltammetry. In addition, the microgels can be switched by electrochemical means: they swell in the oxidized state or shrink in the reduced state. In the presence of urea or lysozyme, the microgels undergo a fast degradation due to the disruption of hydrogen bonds acting as physical crosslinks in the microgel networks or due to the cleavage of glucosidic linkages of the incorporated chitosan scaffold, respectively. Doxorubicin (DOX), an anticancer drug, could be effectively encapsulated into the microgels and released in the presence of an enzyme, indicating that these biodegradable microgels could be used as drug delivery vehicles for tumor cells.

Abstract
Redox-active self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) provide an excellent platform for investigating electron transfer kinetics. Using a well-defined bridge, a redox center can be positioned at a fixed distance from the electrode and electron transfer kinetics probed using a variety of electrochemical techniques. Cyclic voltammetry, AC voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometry are most commonly used to determine the rate of electron transfer of redox-activated SAMs. A variety of redox species have been attached to SAMs, and include transition metal complexes (e.g., ferrocene, ruthenium pentaammine, osmium bisbipyridine, metal clusters) and organic molecules (e.g., galvinol, C(60)). SAMs offer an ideal environment to study the outer-sphere interactions of redox species. The composition and integrity of the monolayer and the electrode material influence the electron transfer kinetics and can be investigated using electrochemical methods. Theoretical models have been developed for investigating SAM structure. This review discusses methods and monolayer compositions for electrochemical measurements of redox-active SAMs.

Abstract
We have designed a novel catechol-modified electrode that could be used for bias-assisted Michael addition at the solid/liquid interface. The glassy carbon electrode was modified by the electrochemical reduction of a catechol para-substituted phenyldiazonium salt. The electrochemistry of surface-confined catechol moieties was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The transfer coefficient and apparent surface standard electron-transfer rate constant were obtained using Laviron's theory. We demonstrate that o-quinone moieties linked to the surface remain quite reactive with nucleophilic species by Michael addition at the solid/liquid interface. To demonstrate the versatility of this procedure, 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol, (4-nitrobenzyl)amine, and a ferrocenealkylamine were chosen as nucleophile models due to their well-known redox properties. Electrochemically triggered Michael addition was validated, leading to redox headgroup-tethered surfaces.

Abstract
A study of the electron transfer for a non-glycosylated redox variant of GOx is reported, immobilised onto an electrode via a polyhistidine tag. The non-glycosylated variant allows the enzyme to be brought closer to the electrode, and within charge transfer distances predicted by Marcus' theory. The enzyme-electrode-hybrid shows direct very fast reversible electrochemical electron transfer, with a rate constant of approximately 350 s(-1) under anaerobic conditions. This is 2 orders of magnitude faster than the enzyme-free flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). These results are discussed in the context of the conformation of FAD in the active site of GOx. Further data, presented in the presence of oxygen, show a reduced electron transfer rate (approximately 160 s(-1)) that may be associated with the oxygen interaction with the histidines in the active site. These residues are implicated in the proton transfer mechanism and thus suggest that the presence of oxygen may have a profound effect in attenuating the direct electron transfer rate and thus moderating 'short-circuit' incidental electron transfer between proteins.

Abstract
The redox electrochemistry of hydroquinone and Cu2+-, Ni2+-, and Fe3+-hydroquinone complexes immobilized at the SAM interface has been studied in aqueous solutions with pH 5 to 12 using cyclic voltammetry. Self-assembled monolayers were constructed with terminal hydroquinone residues designed to model marine adhesive proteins that use the DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) moiety. Coordination of metal to the hydroquinone group results in a shift to the ligand oxidation potential, with the value for Delta E p,a dependent on the solution pH and identity of the metal. Cu2+ shifts the hydroquinone oxidation by -285 mV (pH 8.8), and Ni2+ by -194 mV (pH 9.16). The hydroquinone oxidation was shifted by -440 mV at pH 5 for Fe3+ solutions examined up to pH 7. By contrast, reduction of the quinone is unperturbed by the presence of Cu2+, Ni2+, and Fe3+ ions. Implications of these results to the mechanism of marine adhesion are discussed.

Abstract
We found that when a quinone headgroup, present in a mixed self-assembled monolayer on gold, reacts with a nucleophile, dissolved in the bulk phase, the reaction rate widely depends on the chemical nature of the tether, being 7 times faster for quinones attached via a delocalized bridge as compared to a saturated alkane chain. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the quinone/hydroquinone redox couple was used to monitor the nucleophilic addition, while simulated CVs compared to experimental runs permitted the determination of rate constants. Analysis of CV data also suggests that the delocalized oligo(phenylene ethynylene) bridge facilitates the addition of two mercaptoethanol molecules as compared to the alkane bridge, where only one molecule is being added. The use of delocalized bridges for tethering quinones to electrodes is of great potential in electrochemically controlled "tuning" of surfaces needed in biosensor applications.
