Abstract Electroactive self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) with well‐defined electrochemical responses were prepared by spontaneous assembly of the inclusion complexes (CD/C 8 VC ω SH) of viologen‐attached alkanethiols (C 8 VC ω SH) and α‐ and β‐cyclodextrin (CD). They were characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The results demonstrate that the chemisorption process of CD/C 8 VC ω SH on gold substrate occurs through S–Au bonds, and that the redox sites in SAMs of CD/C 8 VC ω SH are in a much more uniform environment than those in SAMs of C 8 VC ω SH.
