Abstract
Microelectrode arrays have great potential as analytical tools because currents can be independently measured at each electrode in the array. In principle, these currents can be monitored in order to follow in real time the binding events that occur between the members of a molecular library and a biological target. To capitalize on this potential, the surface of the array must be selectively functionalized so that each unique member of the molecular library is associated with a unique individually addressable electrode or set of electrodes in the array. To this end, this instructional review summarizes methods for coating the arrays with porous polymers that allow for the attachment of molecules to the surface of the array, selectively conducting reactions at individual electrodes in the array, characterizing molecules that are placed on the arrays, and running the analytical experiments needed to monitor in real time binding events between molecules on the array and a biological target.

Abstract
PEG-modified diblock copolymer surfaces have been examined for their compatibility with microelectrode array based analytical methods. The use of PEG-modified polymer surfaces on the arrays was initially problematic because the redox couples used in the experiments were adsorbed by the polymer. This led the current measured by cyclic voltammetry for the redox couple to be unstable and increase with time. However, two key findings allow the experiments to be successful. First, after multiple cyclic voltammograms the current associated with the redox couple does stabilize so that a good baseline current can be established. Second, the rate at which the current stabilizes is consistent every time a particular coated array is used. Hence, multiple analytical experiments can be conducted on an array coated with a PEG-modified diblock copolymer and the data obtained is comparable as long as the data for each experiment is collected at a consistent time point.

Abstract
Numerous techniques have focused on the ability of p-sulfonated calix[n]arene to form complexes with tryptophan. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were utilized to study the organization and molecular structure of different layers of the electrode surface. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that SC4A displayed a cubic structure whereas SC6A and SC8A displayed dendrite structures. The electrochemical properties and potential complex formation between SCnA and tryptophan were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry experiments showed that the gold electrode was successfully functionalized by self-assembled cysteamine and SC4A. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results showed the observation of the tryptophan–SCnA interaction and indicated that SC4A had the highest sensitivity to tryptophan and allowed 2.04 μg L−1 tryptophan to be detected. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis and molecular modeling calculation confirmed that SC4A has higher tryptophan sensitivity than SC6A and SC8A.

Abstract
Oxidation reactions are powerful tools for synthesis because they allow for the functionalization of molecules. Here, we present a general method for conducting these reactions on a microelectrode array in a site-selective fashion. The reactions are run as a competition between generation of a chemical oxidant at the electrodes in the array and reduction of the oxidant by a "confining agent" in the solution above the array. The "confining agent" does not need to be more reactive than the substrate fixed to the surface of the array. In many cases, the same substrate placed on the surface of the array can also be used in solution as the confining agent.

Abstract
Peptides have been site-selectively placed on microelectrode arrays with the use of both thiol-based conjugate additions and Cu(I)-coupling reactions between thiols and aryl halides. The conjugate addition reactions used both acrylate and maleimide Michael acceptors. Of the two methods, the Cu(I)-coupling reactions proved far superior because of their irreversibility. Surfaces constructed with the conjugate addition chemistry were not stable at neutral pHs, especially the surface using the maleimide acceptor. Once a peptide was placed onto the array, it could be monitored in "real-time" for its interactions with a biological receptor.

Abstract
The electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties of N,N-diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (PDA) were investigated in the absence and in the presence of 18-crown-6-ether (18C6) or dibenzo 24-crown-8-ether (DB24C8), in a solution of tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) in acetonitrile and in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) only for 18C6. In neutral acetonitrile, PDA undergoes two reversible oxidation processes, which lead first to the formation of the cation-radical considered as mixed valence (MV) compound, and then to the dicationic species. When 18C6 is added in the medium and depending on 18C6 concentration, cyclic voltammetry shows a marked shift to more cathodic potentials of the current waves of the second redox process only. This is attributed to a strong interaction between the PDA(+2) dication and two 18C6 molecules, leading to the formation of a supramolecular complex with an association constant value K(a) = 7.0 × 10(7) M(-2). The interaction of 18C6 with PDA(+2) dication has a direct effect on the PDA(+.) cation-radical corresponding to a decrease in the lifetime of the MV compound and of the intramolecular electron transfer rate when 18C6 is present. Indeed, it results in a large decrease in the intervalence charge transfer (IV-CT) between the two amine centers in the MV compound (k(th) = 1.35 × 10(10) s(-1) in 18C6-free neutral solution containing 5.0 × 10(-4) M PDA, and k(th) = 3.6 × 10(9) s(-1) in the same medium at [18C6]/[PDA] = 20/1). And the comproportionation constant K(co) falls from 6.0 × 10(6) in 18C6-free solution to 1.6 × 10(3) at [18C6]/[PDA] = 20/1. In acidified acetonitrile and when TFA concentration is increased, PDA still shows the two successive and reversible oxidation processes, but both are shifted to more anodic potentials. However, when 18C6 is added, the two oxidation waves shift to more cathodic potentials, indicating an interaction of all protonated PDA redox states with 18C6, resulting in the formation of supramolecular complexes. In the presence of TFA, the value of K(co) is decreased to 4.3 × 10(4), but it remains unchanged when 18C6 is added, indicating no change in the lifetime of the MV compound. In this medium, IV-CT in the MV compound is greater with 18C6 (k(th) = 2.3 × 10(10) s(-1) for [18C6]/[PDA] = 20/1) than without (k(th) = 1.4 × 10(9) s(-1)), which indicates a more important IV-CT rate when 18C6 is present. The results show for the first time that is it possible to control the IV-CT rate, through the lifetime and the potential range where the MV compound is the most important. This control is not obtained as usual by chemical modification of the structure of the starting molecule, but by varying either the acidity or the 18C6 concentration as external stimuli, which lead to reversible formation/dissociation of a supramolecular complex species. Moreover, we also studied the electrochemical properties of PDA in the presence of wider crown ether such as DB24C8. We showed that PDA undergoes the same electrochemical behavior with DB24C8 than with 18C6 in neutral organic medium (K(a) = 2.9 × 10(3) M(-1)). This result suggests that the complexation between the electrogenerated PDA(+2) dication and the crown ethers may occur through face-to-face mode rather than rotaxane mode even with DB24C8 which is supposed to form inclusion complexes.

Abstract
The electron self-exchange rate constants for the (trimethylammonio)methylferrocene(+/2+) couple (FcTMA+/2+) have been measured in the absence and presence of the cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) host molecule in aqueous solution, using 1H NMR line-broadening experiments. The very strong binding of the ferrocene to CB[7] results in slow exchange of the guest on the NMR time scale, such that resonances for both the free and bound forms of the reduced ferrocene can be observed. The extents of line broadening in the resonances of the two forms of the guest in the presence of the FcTMA2+ species can be monitored independently, allowing for the determination of the rate constants for the possible self-exchange pathways involving the bound and free forms of both the oxidized and reduced members of the redox couple. The encapsulation of both the reduced and oxidized forms of the ferrocene increases the rate constant (25 degrees C) from (2.1+/-0.1)x10(6) M-1 s-1 (for FcTMA+/2+) to (6.7+/-0.7)x10(6) M(-1) s(-1) (for {FcTMA.CB[7]}+/2+), whereas inclusion of the reduced form only decreases the rate constant to (6+/-1)x10(5) M(-1) s(-1). The changes in the exchange rate constants upon inclusion of the reactants are related to the effects of CB[7] acting as an outer, second-coordination sphere and are compared to those observed previously for the electron-exchange process in the presence of beta-cyclodextrin and p-sulfonated calix[6]arene hosts. The binding of FcTMA+ and hydroxymethylferrocene to CB[7] significantly reduces the rate constants for their oxidations by the bis(2,6-pyridinedicarboxylato)cobaltate(III) ion (which does not bind to CB[7]) as a result of reduced thermodynamic driving forces and steric hindrance to close approach of the oxidant to the encapsulated ferrocenes.
