Abstract
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.
