“…Most work to date has utilized acetonitrile as the modi®cation medium [2, 9±12, 18, 23, 26±38] but recent reports demonstrate that aqueous acid (H 2 SO 4 or HCl, pH < 2) may also be used [13,27]. Reduction of the diazonium can be effected by CV or controlled potential electrolysis, and successful modi®cation has been carried out at GC [2, 9±12, 18, 23, 26, 28±34], carbon ®ber and powder [2,18,27] edge plane and basal plane HOPG [2, 26, 30± 32, 35, 38], screen-printed graphite electrodes [13], hydrogenated GC (HGC) [36] and boron-doped diamond [37]. The wide range of aryl derivatives which have been grafted to carbon surfaces by diazonium reduction is listed in Table 2.…”
