We present the results of an Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance study of the dark electrochemical behavior of rose bengal on gold piezoelectrodes in phosphate buffer at pH=7. Five oxidation and two reduction peaks were identified. The first oxidation process (Epox1=0.52V) is attributed to the formation of a Charge Transfer Complex (CTC) of rose bengal. The second process (Epox2=0.76V) is due to the partial breakdown of that CTC. The third process (Epox3=1.12V) is the electrochemical formation of a rose bengal polymer. Peak four (Epox4=1.24V) is due to the electrochemistry of the underlying gold surface, whilst peak five (Ep ox5=1.45V) is attributed to a process that facilitates transpassive polymerization. The first reduction peak (Epred1=0.42V) is due to gold oxide stripping and the second (Epred2=0.36V) is the reduction of residual charge transfer complex formed in the first oxidation process.
