生物醌分子伏安响应的多电子转移辨析

电化学反应中,一个基元电子转移反应仅对应一个电子交换,实际上多电子转移反应也涉及对应数目的单电子转移步骤,分离、辨析每个电子基元反应的氧化还原峰电位十分重要. 本文以辅酶Q₀（CoQ₀）、亚甲基桥连双辅酶Q₀（Bis-CoQ₀）为模型,采用循环伏安和方波伏安技术研究其电化学特性,提出了一种应用于多电子转移体系、分析单个电子转移电位的方法. 实验表明,CoQ₀经历两步单电子还原反应;Bis-CoQ₀中两个醌单元发生强电子相互作用,电极过程为4电子多步转移. 对于表观上的4电子“三步”转移反应,拟用Lorentzian-Gaussian分峰拟合CoQ₀和Bis-CoQ₀体系方波伏安响应曲线,分别获取每个电子转移步骤的电位,进一步证明Bis-CoQ₀经历四分步单电子转移反应,为热力学研究提供更多信息.

Voltammetry of azobenzene microcrystals

Azobenzene solid particles have been mechanically attached to a graphite electrode and measured by cyclic staircase voltammetry. Well-developed and widely separated cathodic and anodic peaks were observed. Redox reaction is controlled by both the heterogeneous charge transfer kinetics and the mass transfer. Its mechanism is explained by the surface diffusion model. Reaction starts at the three-phase boundary, where electrons are transferred from the electrode surface to the attached azobenzene molecules. The electrons are then propagated over the surface of microcrystals by a series of exchange reactions between hydrazobenzene and azobenzene molecules, with the participation of proton donors from the solution. The apparent mass transfer occurs in this way. In the crystal lattice the transmission of protons is not possible, and consequently there is no propagation of electrons.

Conductivity‐Dependent Completion of Oxygen Reduction on Oxide Catalysts

The electric conductivity‐dependence of the number of electrons transferred during the oxygen reduction reaction is presented. Intensive properties, such as the number of electrons transferred, are difficult to be considered conductivity‐dependent. Four different perovskite oxide catalysts of different conductivities were investigated with varying carbon contents. More conductive environments surrounding active sites, achieved by more conductive catalysts (providing internal electric pathways) or higher carbon content (providing external electric pathways), resulted in higher number of electrons transferred toward more complete 4e reduction of oxygen, and also changed the rate‐determining steps from two‐step 2e process to a single‐step 1e process. Experimental evidence of the conductivity dependency was described by a microscopic ohmic polarization model based on effective potential localized nearby the active sites.     

Investigation of Electrochemical Behavior of Some Dithiophosphonates in Acetonitrile on the Platinum and Gold Electrodes

Some dithiophosphonate derivatives were synthesized and the electrochemical reduction mechanism was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV) and chronoamperometry (CA) in 0.1 M tetrabutylammoniumtetrafluoroborate (TBATFB) in acetonitrile at platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) electrodes. Dithiophosphonates showed a cyclic voltammetric reduction peak at about ?1.1 V at Pt and ?1.3 V at Au electrode (vs. Ag/Ag⁺) in this media. It was also shown that dithiophosphonates can be determined quantitatively in acetonitrile using a calibration graph. The number of electrons transferred were calculated as 2 using ferrocene as a reference compound at the UME electrode. Mechanism of dithiophosphonates was also examined on Pt and Au electrodes and electrochemical reduction of dithiophosphonates seems to follow an EC mechanism with an irreversible electron transfer step. The reaction product in the bulk electrolysis experiment was isolated and identified using proton‐coupled P‐31 NMR, ¹³C‐NMR and IR spectroscopy. The adsorption tests for dithiophosphonates were revealed that no strong or weak adsorption phenomena exist on both Pt and Au electrodes. Simulation curves were acquired by DigiSim 3.03 version to investigate the reduction mechanism and to estimate the kinetic parameters for electrochemical and chemical steps.     

Oxidative formation of thiolesters in a model system of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex

In the presence of a catalytic amount of 3-butyl-4-methylthiazolium bromide, the reaction of benzaldehydes with azobenzene in dichloromethane containing octanethiol and Et(3)N gave the corresponding S-octyl thiobenzoates in good yields. The thiolesters were produced by trapping of the 2-benzoylthiazolium salts with the thiol, which were generated through the azobenzene oxidation of the active aldehydes. This is the first example for the thiolester formation mimicking the function of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. An electron-withdrawing substituent at the 4-position of benzaldehyde enhanced the reaction rate. The effect of benzaldehyde substituents on the reaction rate was examined quantitatively on the basis of kinetic measurements, leading to a nonlinear correlation of log(k(obs)) with Hammett's substituent constants (sigma). The origin of the nonlinear Hammett plot was interpreted in terms of a shift in the rate-determining step of the multistep reaction with change of the electronic nature of substituent. Further support for this assumption was given by the observation that the reaction constant (rho) of the Hammett plot for the azobenzene substituent effect on the oxidation rate of 4-bromobenzaldehyde was much smaller than that of 4-cyanobenzaldehyde.

Langmuir-Blodgett films and chiroptical switch of an azobenzene-containing dendron regulated by the in situ host-guest reaction at the air/water interface

An amphiphilic dendron containing an azobenzene ring at the focal point and the l-glutamate peripheral groups was designed. Its monolayer formation and host-guest reaction with cyclodextrins at the air/water interface and the properties of the transferred Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films were investigated. The individual dendron, although without any long alkyl chains, could still form a stable monolayer at the air/water interface because of the good balance between hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts within the molecule. When cyclodextrin (CyD) was added to the subphase, a host-guest reaction occurred in situ at the air/water interface. The inclusion of the focal azobenzene moiety into the cavity of cyclodextrin decreased the packing of the aromatic ring and also led to the diminishment of the molecular area. Both the films formed at the surface of pure water and aqueous cyclodextrins were transferred onto solid substrates. Nanofiber structures were obtained for the film from the water surface as a result of the packing of the azobenzene groups, and circular domains were obtained for the film transferred from the aqueous CyD phases. The film transferred from the water surface showed an exciton couplet in the absorption band of azobenzene, whereas a negative Cotton effect was obtained for the film from CyD subphases. It was found that the supramolecular chirality in the LB film transferred from water was due to the transfer of the molecular chirality to the assemblies whereas that from the CyD subphase was due to the inclusion of azobenzene into the chiral cavity. Interestingly, the film from the water surface was photoinactive, whereas a reversible optical and chiroptical switch could be obtained for the film from the α-CyD subphase. The work provided a way to regulate the assembly and functions of organized molecular films by taking advantage of the interfacial host-guest reaction.     

Interfacial Electrochemical Behavior of RuS2 Single Crystal Electrodes in Sulfuric Acid Medium

The electrochemical behavior of RuS₂ has been studied using cyclic voltammetry and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. Cyclic voltammograms reveal one major anodic peak and two major cathodic peaks on the reverse sweep; these peaks are attributed to the electroadsorption/desorption of OH^? groups on the electrode surface. It is proposed that the electroadsorption of the OH^? group on RuS₂ is due to the presence of Ru 4d electrons in the uppermost part of the valence band. Thus, OH^? is oxidized by holes on Ru 4d states in the first step. These groups are transferred to S₂^2?sites in the second step. EDX surface analysis reveals preferential release of S₂^2? from the pyrite lattice. A mechanism for the anodic dissolution of RuS₂ is proposed, according to which elemental sulfur is not a direct product, but rather the end product which forms from thiosulfate.
