Various mono-Boc-protected diamines have been covalently grafted to glassy carbon electrodes by electrochemical oxidation of the free amine. After deprotection of the Boc group, anthraquinone and nitrobenzene probes were coupled to the linkers using solid-phase coupling reactions. X-Ray photoelectro...
