We have synthesized two types of methoxyphenol thiols, Fc-MP1 and Fc-MP2 to use them in a voltammetric pH sensor. The methoxyphenol group was oxidatively triggered to o-quinone. Thus formed dyad molecules made possible pH measurements based on the pH-dependence of formal potential difference between quinone (pH indicator) and ferrocene (pH reference) moieties. Precise pH measurements over a wide pH range were possible even in a two-electrode mode without a reference electrode. The large polarization effect found in metal counter electrodes such as Au and Pt was removed by simply forming a mixed monolayer using an inert alkanethiol as a diluent. Fc-MP1 and Fc-MP2 were complementary in that Fc-MP2 covers the pH region that was not accessed by Fc-MP1 because of the potential overlap between the Fc+/Fc and Q/H2Q redox processes. The estimated errors were in the range of 0.03 to 0.06pH units from the analysis of varience.
