This study shows that diazotized beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) can be produced, isolated, and immobilized onto glassy carbon and gold surfaces. 4-(1,2,3-Triazol-4-yl)benzenediazonium-beta-CD tetrafluoroborate (pDz-beta-CD) and 3-(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)benzenediazonium-beta-CD tetrafluoroborate (mDz-beta-CD) were successfully prepared by Cu-(I)-catalyzed azide alkyne coupling (CuAAC) of 6-monodeoxy-6-monoazido-beta-cyclodextrin (N-3-beta-CD) and 4-ethynylaniline and 3-ethynylaniline, respectively, followed by diazotization. The products were isolated and stored successfully for several months at -18 degrees C. The intermediates and products were verified by Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence. pDz-beta-CD and naDz-beta-CD were immobilized onto glassy carbon and gold surfaces facilitated by electrochemical reduction of the diazonium group. The thus generated aryl radical reacted with the surface. The modified gold surfaces were investigated by Polarization Modulation Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry employing the redox probe K3Fe(CN)(6) to analyze the extent of blocking of the surfaces. Finally, the availability of the cavity of surface-immobilized beta-CD was shown by complexation of ferrocene followed by cyclic voltametric analysis.
