Popis: Platinum and gold microelectrode arrays (MEAs), fabricated on silicon substrates with different geometric characteristics, were surface-modified by the potentiostatic electropolymerization of the pyrrole-ferrocene derivative Py(CH2)3NHCOFc, in the case of the platinum MEAs, and chemisorption of the thiol-functionalized ferrocene HS(CH2)6N+(CH3)2Fc, in the case of the gold MEAs. Cyclic voltammetry of these MEAs was typical of thin film behavior. The modified MEAs were investigated for the detection of the dihydrogen phosphate mono-anion in non-aqueous media via differential pulse voltammetry. This was based on electrostatic interaction and/or hydrogen-bonding between the target anion and the amide-ferrocene or ammonium-ferrocene functionalized electrode surfaces. A decrease in the ferrocene (Fc) oxidation peak current with a concomitant increase in the peak current of a new peak at lower potentials was observed when the concentration of the dihydrogen phosphate was increased.
