Abstract: Electrochemical behavior of Co (bpy)32+ on gold electrode and interaction of thiscomplex with adenine was investigated.Voltammetric experiments indicated that the electro-chemistry of Co(bpy)32+ on gold electrode was quasi-reversible with one-electron transfer re-action in phosphate buffer(pH=7.0).The formal potential, E°'was 0.057 V.The electrontransfer rate constant, KS, was 1.43×10-2 cm/s.This property was characterized by spec-troelectrochemistry.Both anodic and cathodic peak potentials shifted to more positive valuesin the presence of adenine.In this case, E°'shifted to more positive potentials by 15 mV.The KS'descended about three times.The complex ratio was 1: 1.The complex constant was64.2 L/mol.The interaction was testified by electrochemistry and spectrum of adenine.
