Within the last several decades, interactions of small molecules with metal surfaces have attracted much attention, and today, it is one of the most active areas of research. Recently, increasing interest in the use of conjugated molecules for molecular devices such as logic gate transistor, resonant tunnelling diode, etc. has arisen. The self-assembling technique has proved to be a useful method of fabricating such molecular devices [1]. Moreover, funcionalization of metallic surfaces by chemical modification has become an issue in recent years. The preparation of chemically modified electrodes containing immobilized molecules with specific activity for a given reaction is important for the application of these surfaces in electrochemical sensors [2,3].
