The electron transfer process in the microdomain of a polyion complex composed of poly(sodium styrenesulfonate), (syst. name: poly[sodium 1-(4-~ulfonatophenyl)ethylene]), and poly(alky1ene vio1ogen)s 1 with 3 to 10 methylene groups between two adjacent viologen units was analyzed by means of voltammetry with a rotating disc electrode. Although the stability of 1 on the graphite electrode was improved by the formation of a polyion complex with poly(sodium styrenesulfonate), a smaller surface charge was observed in the polyion complex as compared with the electrode coated with poly(a1kylene viologen) alone. Since the migration of the counter ion was clarified to be indispensable for the electron transfer in this case, the microdomain of polyion complexes should be formed by tightly-shrunk polyelectrolyte chains. Furthermore, the electron transfer in the microdomain of the polyion complex is hardly detected, when the electrode is coated with an excess of the complex. The electron transfer strongly depended on the average distance between two adjacent redox sites in the matrix. These matrixes were suggested to be controlled by the subtle balance of hydrophobicity and charge density of 1.
