As a model of an electrode reaction of a big particle, vinylferrocene immobilized on polystyrene latex particles were synthesized by copolymerization with styrene sulfonate and styrene. They had almost mono-dispersed spheres with 1.2 μm in diameter, and each had 3.1×107ferrocene units. The particles adsorbed on pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE) showed the redox activity for the ferrocene unit in NaBF4aqueous solution. Particles without the sulfonate group had no electroactivity, and hence the electroactivity needs ionic micro-environment around the ferrocene unit. From the faradaic charge of the ferrocene unit, the electroactive sites per particle were estimated to be about 8% of the whole immobilized ferrocene units. A model of this partial charge transfer was proposed, in which the particles are adsorbed in hollows of the rough surface of the PGE.
