Electrochemiluminescence from successive electro- and chemo-oxidation of rifampicin and its application to the determination of rifampicin in pharmaceutical preparations and human urine

A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) type was proposed based on successive electro- and chemo-oxidation of oxidable analyte, which was different from both annihilation and coreactant ECL types in mechanism. Rifampicin was used as a model compound. No any chemiluminescence (CL) was produced by either electrochemical oxidation or chemical oxidation of rifampicin in KH(2)PO(4)--Na(2)B(4)O(7) (pH 6.6) buffer-dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DTAC) solution. However, an ECL was observed by electrochemical oxidization of rifampicin in the same solution in the presence of oxidant such as dissolved oxygen, activated oxygen and potassium peroxydisulfate (K(2)S(2)O(8)). The ECL was attributed to electrochemical oxidation of rifampicin to form semiquinone free radical, and then subsequently chemical oxidation of the formed radical by oxidant to form excited state rifampicin quinone. The proposed ECL type introduced additional advantages such as high selectivity, simple and convenient operation, and effective avoidance of side reaction that often took place in homogenous CL reaction, and will open a novel application field. In addition, with the ECL in the presence of K(2)S(2)O(8) as oxidant, a flow injection ECL method for the determination of rifampicin was proposed. The ECL intensity was linear with rifampicin concentration in the range of 1.0 x 10(-7) to 4.0 x 10(-5) mol l(-1) and the limit of detection (s/n=3) was 3.9 x 10(-8) mol l(-1). The proposed method was applied to the determination of rifampicin in pharmaceutical preparations and human urine.     

Synthesis of π-expanded O-chelated boron-dipyrromethene as an NIR dye

A π-expanded BODIPY dye with an intramolecular boronate skeleton was synthesized by retro Diels-Alder reaction of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene (BCOD)-fused BODIPY and the subsequent O-chelation. The photophysical and electrochemical properties were examined by UV-vis, fluorescence, CV measurements, and DFT calculation. This BODIPY exhibited the absorption and emission over a visible-NIR region at 600-850 nm. O-chelated BODIPY showed a bathocromic shift compared to F-BODIPYs. This dye showed a bright fluorescence emission at 733 nm with the high Φ value of 0.58.

Gold nanoelectrode ensembles for direct trace electroanalysis of iodide

A procedure for the standardization of ensembles of gold nanodisk electrodes (NEE) of 30 nm diameter is presented, which is based on the analytical comparison between experimental cyclic voltammograms (CV) obtained at the NEEs in diluted solutions of redox probes and CV patterns obtained by digital simulation. Possible origins of defects sometimes found in NEEs are discussed. Selected NEEs are then employed for the study of the electrochemical oxidation of iodide in acidic solutions. CV patterns display typical quasi-reversible behavior which involves associated chemical reactions between adsorbed and solution species. The main CV characteristics at the NEE compare with those observed at millimeter sized gold disk electrodes (Au-macro), apart a slight shift in E_1/2 values and slightly higher peak to peak separation at the NEE. The detection limit (DL) at NEEs is 0.3 μM, which is more than one order of magnitude lower than DL at the Au-macro (4 μM). The mechanism of the electrochemical oxidation of iodide at NEEs is discussed. Finally, NEEs are applied to the direct determination of iodide at micromolar concentration levels in real samples, namely in some ophthalmic drugs and iodized table salt.     

Synthesis, photophysical, electrochemical, and electrogenerated chemiluminescence studies. Multiple sequential electron transfers in BODIPY monomers, dimers, trimers, and polymer

Synthesis of the C(8) BODIPY monomers, dimers, and trimers, a C(8) polymer, and N(8) aza-BODIPY monomer and dimer was carried out. Methyl and mesityl C(8)-substituted monomers, dimers, and trimers were used. Dimers, trimers, and polymer were formed chemically through the β-β (2/6) positions by oxidative coupling using FeCl(3). A red shift of the absorbance and fluorescence is observed with addition of monomer units from monomer to polymer for C(8) dyes. The aza-BODIPY dye shows red-shifted absorbance and fluorescence compared with the C(8) analogue. Cyclic voltammetry shows one, two, and three one-electron waves on both reduction and oxidation for the monomer, dimer, and trimer, respectively, for the C(8) BODIPYs. The separation for the reduction peaks for the C(8) dimers is 0.12 V compared with 0.22 V for the oxidation, while the trimers show separations of 0.09 V between reduction peaks and 0.13 V for oxidation peaks. The larger separations between the second and third peaks, 0.25 V for the oxidation and 0.2 V for the reduction, are consistent with a larger energy to remove or add a third electron compared with the second one. The BODIPY polymer shows the presence of many sequential one-electron waves with a small separation. These results provide evidence for significant electronic interactions between different monomer units. The aza-BODIPY dye shows a reduction peak 0.8 V more positive compared to the C(8) compound. Aza-BODIPY dimer shows the appearance of four waves in dichloromethane. The separation between two consecutive waves is around 0.12 V for reduction compared with 0.2 V for oxidation, which is comparable with the results for the C(8) dyes. Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of the different species was obtained, including weak ECL of the polymer.

Electrochemical behavior of 5-substituted 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidine derivatives studied by cyclic voltammetry

This study demonstrates the electrochemical activity of selected 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidine compounds containing different substituents at the C5-position on the Pt-electrode in 0.1 M TBAHFP + MeCN in the potential range from −2 V to 2 V. The mechanism of electrode processes is discussed. It is shown that a chemical step is involved in irreversible electrochemical processes. The effect of the substituent at the C5-position on reduction and oxidation potentials is also noted. The regions of a linear dependence of the current peak on the concentration of the compounds examined are determined. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Electrochemical reactions of redox cofactors in Rhodobacter sphaeroides reaction center proteins in lipid films.

Cyclic voltammetry of thin films made from the lipid dimyristoylphosphatidyl choline and reaction centers from the purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides on pyrolytic graphite electrodes in bromide-free pH 8 buffers at 4 degrees C revealed an oxidation peak at 0.98 V and a reduction peak at -0.17 V vs. NHE. No reverse CV peaks were found, suggesting chemical irreversibility. The reduction peak disappeared for reaction centers depleted of quinones, suggesting that the peak represents reduction of this cofactor. The oxidation peak showed a catalytic current increase in the presence of small amounts of ferrous cytochrome c, and decreased by 85% when illuminated by visible light, suggesting assignment to the primary donor (P) cofactor. While oxidized primary donor P(+) is destroyed upon electrochemical formation in the film, reaction of ferrous cyt c with P(+) suggests its persistence in the films on the microsecond time scale.

Sulfur‐Bridged BODIPY DYEmers

Reactions of BODIPY monomers with sulfur nucleophiles and electrophiles result in the formation of new BODIPY dimers. Mono‐ and disulfur bridges are established, and the new dyestuff molecules were studied with respect to their structural, optical, and electrochemical properties. X‐ray diffraction analyses reveal individual angulated orientations of the BODIPY subunits in all cases. DFT calculations provide solution conformers of the DYEmers which deviate in a specific manner from the crystallographic results. Clear exciton‐like splittings are observed in the absorption spectra, with maxima at up to 628 nm, in combination with the expected weak fluorescence in polar solvents. A strong communication between the BODIPY subunits was detected by cyclic voltammetry, where two separated one‐electron oxidation and reduction waves with peak‐to‐peak potential differences of 120–400 mV are observed. The qualitative applicability of the exciton model by Kasha for the interpretation of the absorption spectral shape with respect to the conformational state, subunit orientation and distance, and conjugation through the different sulfur bridges, is discussed in detail for the new BODIPY derivatives. This work is part of our concept of DYEmers, where the covalent oligomerisation of BODIPY‐type dye molecules with close distances is leading to new functional dyes with predictable properties.     

Electrochemistry, electrogenerated chemiluminescence, and excimer formation dynamics of intramolecular π-stacked 9-naphthylanthracene derivatives and organic nanoparticles

We report the electrochemical characterization and the observation of excimer emission from a series of 9-naphthylanthracene-based dimer- and trimer-bridged high steric hindrance aromatic groups during photoluminescence (PL) measurements in the solid state and in solution electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) measurements. Cyclic voltammetry of 4,4'-bis(9-(1-naphthyl)anthracen-10-yl)biphenyl (4A) and 1,3,5-tris(9-(1-naphthyl)anthracen-10-yl)benzene (4C) showed two or three reversible, closely spaced one-electron transfers on oxidation in dichloromethane. The ECL emission spectra of 4A and 4C resulting from the annihilation reaction in benzonitrile showed two bands: one at the same wavelength as the PL peak in the solution state, and a broad band at longer wavelength. With a coreactant, such as peroxydisulfate, ECL spectra showed a single peak that was less broad in shape. PL measurement in the solid state and measurement of representative time traces of PL intensity, lifetimes, and picosecond time-correlated single-photon counting confirmed excimer emission at long wavelength. A reprecipitation method was used to prepare well-dispersed organic nanoparticles (NPs) of 4A in both aqueous and acetonitrile solutions. The smallest stable size of NPs produced was ~15 ± 6 nm, as analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. These organic NPs produced stable and weak ECL emission from the annihilation reaction in both aqueous and MeCN solutions. With a coreactant, such as peroxydisulfate, the ECL signal on reduction was sufficiently strong to obtain an ECL spectrum.

Electro-oxidation of formic acid catalyzed by FePt nanoparticles

The electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid at a gold electrode functionalized with FePt nanoparticles was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a mixed solution of 0.1 M HCOOH and 0.1 M HClO4. The FePt bimetallic nanoparticles, with a mean diameter of 3 nm, were prepared by a chemical reduction method. The Au/FePt nanostructured electrode was prepared firstly by the deposition of FePt nanoparticles onto a clean Au electrode surface, followed by ultraviolet ozone treatment to remove the organic coating. In CV measurements, two well-defined anodic peaks were observed at +0.20 and +0.51 V (vs. a Ag/AgCl quasi-reference). The anodic peak at +0.20 V was attributed to the oxidation of HCOOH to CO2 on surface unblocked by CO, whereas the peak at +0.51 V was ascribed to the oxidation of surface-adsorbed CO (an intermediate product of HCOOH oxidation) and further oxidation of bulk HCOOH. From the onset potential and current density of the electro-oxidation of HCOOH, FePt nanoparticles exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activities as compared to Pt and other metal alloys. EIS measurements were carried out to further examine the reaction kinetics involved in the HCOOH electro-oxidation. The EIS responses were found to be strongly dependent on electrode potentials. At potentials more positive than -0.25 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), pseudo-inductive behavior was typically observed. At potentials between +0.3 and +0.5 V, the impedance response was found to reverse from the first quadrant to the second quadrant; such negative Faradaic impedance was indicative of the presence of an inductive component due to the oxidation of surface-adsorbed CO. The impedance responses returned to normal behavior at more positive potentials (+0.6 to +0.9 V). The mechanistic variation was attributed to the formation of different intermediates (CO or oxygen containing species) on the electrode surface in different potential regions. Two equivalent circuits were proposed to model these impedance behaviors.     

Electrochemiluminescence of terbium (III)-two fluoroquinolones-sodium sulfite system in aqueous solution

The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of Tb3+-enoxacin-Na2SO3 system (ENX system) and Tb3+-ofloxacin-Na2SO3 system (OFLX system) in aqueous solution is reported. ECL is generated by the oxidation of Na2SO3, which is enhanced by Tb3+-fluoroquinolone (FQ) complex. The ECL intensity peak versus potential corresponds to oxidation of Na2SO3, and the ECL emission spectra (the peaks are at 490, 545, 585 and 620 nm) match the characteristic emission spectrum of Tb3+, indicating that the emission is from the excited state of Tb3+. The mechanism of ECL is proposed and the difference of ECL intensity between ENX system and OFLX system is explained. Conditions for ECL emission were optimized. The linear range of ECL intensity versus concentrations of pharmaceuticals is 2.0 x 10(-10) -8.0 x 10(-7)mol l(-1) for ENX and 6.0 x 10(-10) -6.0 x 10(-7)mol l(-1) for OFLX, respectively. A theoretical limit of detection is 5.4 x 10(-11)mol l(-1) for ENX and 1.6 x 10(-10)mol l(-1) for OFLX, respectively. The ECL was satisfactorily applied to the determination of the two FQs in dosage form and urine sample.

Brominated boron dipyrrins: synthesis, structure, spectral and electrochemical properties

meso-Anisyl boron dipyrrins (BODIPYs) 1-6 containing one to six bromines at the pyrrole carbons have been synthesized by treating meso-anisyl dipyrromethane with 'n' equivalents of N-bromosuccinimide in THF at room temperature followed by oxidation with DDQ, neutralization with triethylamine and further complexation with BF(3)·OEt(2). The brominated compounds were characterized by HR-MS mass, detailed (1)H, (19)F and (11)B NMR and X-ray diffraction studies. The crystal structures solved for compounds 2-6 indicate that the boron dipyrrinato framework comprised two pyrrole rings and one six membered boron containing ring in one plane like other reported BODIPYs. However, the dihedral angle between the BODIPY core and the meso-anisyl group varied from 48° to 88° and the meso-anisyl ring has an almost perpendicular orientation in penta 5 and hexabrominated 6 BODIPYs. The absorption and emission studies showed a bathochromic shift and reached a maximum for tetrabrominated derivative 4, after which there was no change in the peak maxima for penta 5 and hexabrominated 6 derivatives. However, the quantum yields were reduced with the increasing number of bromines. The electrochemical studies revealed that brominated BODIPY compounds 1-6 are easier to reduce compared to unsubstituted meso-anisyl BODIPY 8 and the reduction potential is linearly related to the number of Br groups.     

Synthesis of 3,8‐Dichloro‐6‐ethyl‐1,2,5,7‐tetramethyl–BODIPY from an Asymmetric Dipyrroketone and Reactivity Studies at the 3,5,8‐Positions

The asymmetric BODIPY 1 a (BODIPY=4,4‐difluoro‐4‐bora‐3a,4a‐diaza‐s‐indacene), containing two chloro substituents at the 3,8‐positions and a reactive 5‐methyl group, was synthesized from the asymmetric dipyrroketone 3 , which was readily obtained from available pyrrole 2 a . The reactivity of 3,8‐dichloro‐6‐ethyl‐1,2,5,7‐tetramethyl‐BODIPY 1 a was investigated by using four types of reactions. This versatile BODIPY undergoes regioselective Pd⁰‐catalyzed Stille coupling reactions and/or regioselective nucleophilic addition/elimination reactions, first at the 8‐chloro and then at the 3‐chloro group, using a variety of organostannanes and N‐, O‐, and S‐centered nucleophiles. On the other hand, the more reactive 5‐methyl group undergoes regioselective Knoevenagel condensation with an aryl aldehyde to produce a monostyryl‐BODIPY, and oxidation with 2,3‐dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐1,4‐benzoquinone (DDQ) gives the corresponding 5‐formyl‐BODIPY. Investigation of the reactivity of asymmetric BODIPY 1 a led to the preparation of a variety of functionalized BODIPYs with λ_max of absorption and emission in the ranges 487–587 and 521–617 nm, respectively. The longest absorbing/emitting compound was the monostyryl‐BODIPY 16 , and the largest Stokes shift (49 nm) and fluorescence quantum yield (0.94) were measured for 5‐thienyl‐8‐phenoxy‐BODIPY 15 . The structural properties (including 16 X‐ray structures) of the new series of BODIPYs were investigated.
