Resumen:
n this work, we characterize the electrochemical behavior of a new ferrocenyl-modified, hyperbranched
poly(ethylenimine) (HBPei-Fc). The effects of the ionic strength, pH and the nature of the anion of the
supporting electrolyte on the electrochemical behavior of the redox polymer were studied using cyclic
voltammetry and an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance. The interactions of the polymer with
the anions of the supporting electrolyte, which was incorporated during the redox process, determined
the electrochemical behavior that was observed. The polymer was employed for the construction of
layer-by-layer-assembled multi-composite films using thiolated gold surfaces with HBPei-Fc as the polycation
and citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles or glucose oxidase (GOx) as the negative polyelectrolyte.
The self-assembled multilayers were characterized using UV?Vis spectrophotometry and electrochemical
techniques to follow the signal of the ferrocene groups of the polymer.
