Spectroscopic tools (1H and 13C NMR, FT-IR) and the crystal structure revealed that C1 consists of a mononuclear six-coordinate anionic Co(III) center with a pseudo-octahedral geometry, and one tetrabutylammonium counterion to satisfy the negative charge of the coordination entity [CoIII(L1)2]-. Electropolymerization of C1 produces a conductive metallopolymer deposit on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrodes, which acts as an efficient glucose sensor, showing a linear amperometric response for glucose within a concentration range of 1.97 × 10 −7 M to 3.88 × 10−6 M (R2 = 0.993), limit of detection (LOD) of 9.27 × 10−7 M and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 9.24 × 10−6 M. This electrochemical sensor, which exhibit excellent reproducibility in the manufacturing process, was stable in environmental conditions and showed good reproducibility of the measurements for two weeks. In addition, the metallopolymer deposit was characterized by electrochemical techniques (cyclic voltammetry) and SEM microscopy.enacceso restringidoCondensed Matter PhysicsElectronic, Optical And Magnetic MaterialsMaterials Science, MultidisciplinaryMaterials ChemistryMechanical EngineeringMechanics Of MaterialsMetals And AlloysPhysics, Condensed MatterPolymer Sciencearticle
