Abstract

AbstractInitial results on the synthesis of a new conjugated diazonium salt of trans‐4‐cinnamic acid diazonium fluoroborate, which is used for the chemical modification of the glassy carbon (GC) electrode with trans‐4‐cinnamic acid groups through electrochemical reduction, and direct covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOD) on the cinnamic acid groups are presented. The chemically modified GC electrode exhibits a good selectivity relative to the bare GC electrode for the various possible interfering compounds in glucose analysis: namely ascorbic acid and 4‐acetamidophenol. Covalent immobilization of GOD on the chemically modified GC electrode produces a biosensor which responds to glucose concentration changes in the presence of a soluble redox mediator (ferrocenemethanol). The chemical modification of GC by cinnamic acid groups is potentially useful for the attachment of other enzymes and biochemical reagents.
