Functionalizing surfaces by a highly ordered porous layer and loading of its pores with functional molecules appears very attractive. Very flexible frameworks are available in the form of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These frameworks are highly oriented thermally stable porous powders with a pore size of about 1 - 10 nm useful for gas separation, chromatography, and also for electrical and electronic applications. MOFs can be prepared on highly ordered surfaces to yield so-called SURMOFs. Their charge transport characteristics and redox properties are of pronounced interest. In this work, a layer of a metal-organic framework (SURMOF) was prepared by liquid-phase epitaxy on a self-assembled thiol monolayer on polycrystalline Au. Cyclic voltammetry in contact with a redox-active electrolyte was performed to probe charge transport through such SURMOF phases. Charge transport across these insulating membranes could be established by ferrocene as an immobilised redox mediator. Reversibility of the immobilisation and its role in the electrode kinetics is discussed.
