Covalent binding of glucose oxidase to functionalized polyazulenes. The first application of polyazulenes in amperometric biosensors

Abstract

The covalent binding of enzymes to the surface of electrodes has been shown to lead to amperometric enzyme electrodes with fast response characteristics. New C‐2 substituted azulenes offer a viable alternative to the use of pyrrole derivatives as electrode materials as they easily form thin films of conducting polymeric material on electrochemical doping (see Figure). magnified image
