Modification and/or functionalization of eletrodic materials have been investigated in order to improve the application of chemically modified electrode (CME) regards on their sensitivity, selectivity and reactivity comparing with unmodified substrate. However, the stability and reproducibility of these CME are one of the most important goals to achieve mainly regarding on the lixiviation of the modifier molecule. Quimisorption is one way to obtain very stable modified materials, since the redox mediator is attached to the substrate by covalent bound. Still it is very important to study the stability and chemical reactivity of these materials. The aim of this work is to synthesize graphite, carbon nanotube and carbon fiber with 4-nitrobenzoíl chloride (4-NB), 3,4-dihidroxibenzoíl chloride (3,4-DHB) and 2,2-bipyridine- 4,4-dicarbonil chloride (2,2-BP) in Friedel-Crafts condition mediated by microwave radiation. The materials were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), using carbon paste electrode (CPE), infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermo gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). All of the synthesized graphite derivatives were compared with the respective physical mixtures. Moreover, graphite derivatives with bipyridine were used as a ligand in the synthesis with [Ru(bpy)2(OH2)2](PF6)2, [RuCl2(PPh3)3] and RuCl3.3H2O. These products were used as electrocatalysts to oxidize alcohols in comparison with the complex incorporated in graphite. Graphite obtained from 4-NB reaction was employed to oxidize NADH in the redox potential of hydroxylamine/nitroso derived. Results from EIS measurements have show that graphite functionalized has higher resistance than the material obtained by physical mixture. This would be expected since the covalent bound would affect a pi electron dislocation. In conclusion, this methodology would be a general platform to prepare graphite and derivatives covalently bounded to molecules that have interesting application. In addition, its been shown that the catalytic property of the respective function organic hasns changed after reaction with carbon substrate. Thus the material obtained by this method could be used in applications such as carbon paste electrodes, finger print electrodes, thin films and nanocomposites and even as a catalyst in chemical reaction. Since the electrochemical response is very sensitive regards on the electrolyte, this work opened a wide range of studies to understand the interaction of these materials in aqueous and organic medium.
