A β-amino-cyclodextrin monolayer-modified Au electrode: a command surface for the amperometric and microgravimetric transduction of optical signals recorded by a photoisomerizable bipyridinium–azobenzene diad

Abstract

A β-amino-cyclodextrin monolayer assembled onto Au electrodes acts as an active interface for the electrochemical and microgravimetric transduction of optical signals recorded by a bipyridinium–azobenzene diad.
