In situ Raman spectroelectrochemistry of azobenzene monolayers on glassy carbon.
In situ Raman spectra of chemisorbed azobenzene (AB) monolayers on glassy carbon (GC) electrodes were observed under potentiostatic conditions in acetonitrile (ACN) with tetrabutyl-ammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBA-BF4). The Raman intensities of these spectra were high below -1000 mV, and this is attributed to the change in absorbance of AB on GC. In this paper, we describe chemisorbed AB molecules on GC electrode surfaces under potentiostatic conditions.
