Voltammetric quantification and speciation of mercury compounds

The use of a carbon paste electrode modified with a thiolic resin for the determination of inorganic mercury and organomercury compounds, present simultaneously in a sample, is described. The compounds are first preconcentrated at the electrode surface by means of a purely chemical reaction with the modifier on the electrode surface. The high affinity of the modifier for the mercury compounds ensures low limits of detection and determination. Differentiation between several mercury species is possible by control of the reduction potential applied to the working electrode. This selective reduction results in the formation of atomic mercury at the electrode surface which can be determined with a very high sensitivity by means of its re-oxidation wave in cyclic voltammetry. Optimization of the instrumental parameters and evidence for the reduction processes are discussed. Analysis of inorganic mercury in the presence of methylmercury, with a detection limit of 4 μg Hg 1⁻¹, and of methylmercury in the presence of inorganic mercury, with a detection limit of 2 μg Hg 1⁻¹, is described in detail. In both cases the preconcentration time is 6 min. Other organomercury species can also be quantified. Application of the method to environmental aquatic samples is discussed.     

Electrocatalytic Reduction and Flow Injection Analysis of Organic Peroxides at Polymeric Tetra-Amino Iron Phthalocyanine Modified Electrode

Abstract

It has been demonstrated that tetra-amino iron phthalocyanine can be polymerized onto a glassy carbon electrode by electrooxidation of the monomer in solution. Organic peroxides can be catalytically reduced at such polymeric film modified electrode. While on a bare glassy carbon electrode, none of the peroxides can be reduced within the potential range studied. When used in flow injection analysis, the modified electrode permits the detection of these compounds by reduction mechanism at higher potentials without the interference from oxygen. The response is stable and has a wide dynamic range.

Polarographlc analysis for corticosteroids: Part 5. Reduction mechanism of halogen-containing corticosteroids and analysis of some preparations

In fluprednisolone and chloroprednisone acetate, the polarographic reduction of the carbon—halogen bond in position 6 occurs first. The carbanion—enolate formed is reduced at the dropping mercury electrode at more negative potentials than the conjugate acid. Controlled potential electrolysis at a mercury pool electrode where the carbanion—enolate can be protonated, yields the unsaturated ketone. Polarographic reduction of clobetasol-17-propionate and of clobetasone-17-butyrate results in cleavage of the C—Cl bond in the side-chain. This process is followed by reduction of the α,β-unsaturated ketone in the A-ring. Analytical methods for the determination of these compounds in ointments, creams and eye/ear drops gave results with standard deviations of 1–2%.     

Electrochemical Investigation of Metal-Free and Nickel-Containing Porphyrazines Carrying Eight Tosylaminoethylthia Groups

 In this study, the electrochemical properties of metal-free and nickel-containing porphyrazines with eight tosylaminoethylthia groups were investigated using cyclic voltammetry, double potential step chronoamperometry, double potential step chronocoulometry, and controlled potential coulometry. Cyclic voltammetry measurements showed that both compounds exhibit two quasi-reversible and an irreversible reduction waves. The first electron transfer reaction was followed by an irreversible chemical reaction, the second one by a reversible chemical reaction for both species. The electrode processes of metal-free and nickel-containing porphyrazines are diffusion controlled, but the double potential step chronocoulometry measurements indicated that the nickel porphyrazine is adsorbed at the electrode. However, a small adsorption current has no significant effect on the mass transport mechanism of the system. Diffusion coefficients of both compounds were determined by both cyclic voltammetric and chronocoulometric measurements. The diffusion coefficients of the reduced forms of the porphyrazines were found to be smaller than those of the neutral forms.

Chiral analysis of neurotransmitters using cyclodextrin-modified capillary electrophoresis equipped with microfabricated interdigitated electrodes

We present cyclodextrin-modified capillary electrophoresis equipped with a microfabricated chip consisting of an array of eight interdigitated microband platinum electrodes (IDs) for simultaneous analysis of three chiral models: epinephrine, norepinephrine and isoproterenol. The IDE chip, positioned very close to the capillary outlet, served as an amplification/detection system. Emerging neurotransmitters at the IDE surface were oxidized at +1.1 V by seven electrodes of the array and then detected by the remaining electrode, poised at +0.0 V. There was an amplification effect on the detecting electrode owing to the recycle between the reduced and oxidized forms of the optical isomers at the electrode surface. The detecting "amplification" current response was governed by the applied potential, the detecting electrode position, the number of adjacent electrodes used for recycling and the distance between the oxidative and reductive electrodes. The six chiral forms of the three neurotransmitters were resolved using 25 mM heptakis(2,6,di-o-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin with a detection limit of approximately 5 microM. The scheme detected a reduced compound at a reducing potential instead of conventional oxidation detection to alleviate electrode fouling and electroactive interferences. The concurrent oxidation/reduction detection of compounds also facilitated and ascertained peak identification as interfering compounds were unlikely to have the same oxidative/reductive characteristics and mobilities as the analytes of interrogation.     

Study of catalase electrode for organic peroxides assays

The catalytic activity of immobilized catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) for two model peroxide compounds (dibenzoyl peroxide and 3-chloroperoxibenzoic acid) in a non-aqueous medium was used to prepare an organic-phase enzyme electrode (OPEE). The enzyme was immobilized within a polymeric film on spectrographic graphite. The amperometric signal of the enzyme electrode in substrate solutions was found to be due to the reduction of oxygen generated in the enzyme layer. The electrode response is proportional to peroxide concentrations up to about 40 microM within the potential range from -450 to -650 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl), and the response time is at most 90 s. The enzyme electrode retains about 35% of its initial activity after a 3-week storage at room temperature.     

Application de la réduction polarographique des sulfones aromatiques et des p-toluènesulfonates d'alkyle à des problèmes de structure

The polarographic reduction potentials of a series of aromatic sulfones and homologous alkyl tosylates in anhydrous NN-dimethylformamide have been measured. The relation between reduction potential and structure is discussed on the basis of HMO. calculations, under the assumption that compounds PhSO₂X (X = NR¹R², OR, halogens) are sulfone derivatives A critical approach is made of the use of the Taft-Hammett relation for correlating half-wave potentials. The different reduction mechanisms at the electrode observed in aprotic and protic media for the above compounds are satisfactorily accounted for by simple MO. calculations.     

Development of an amperometric biosensor for the determination of phenolic compounds in reversed micelles

The possibilities of amperometric enzyme electrodes in reversed micellar systems for the determination of phenol, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol and 2,4-dimethylphenol are illustrated. The used enzymatic reaction consisted of the oxidation of the phenolic compounds by oxygen, catalysed by tyrosinase. The reduction of the liberated quinones was amperometrically detected. The concentration of the components of the reversed micelles, as well as the potential applied to the tyrosinase electrode have been optimized. The stability of the enzyme electrode with time was also evaluated. The effect of the analyte solubility in water upon the analytical performance of the electrode was explored. Advantages of amperometric biosensors in reversed micelles are shown with respect to aqueous media and organic phase enzyme electrodes.     

Enzymatic Biosensor Based on Carbon Paste Electrodes Modified with Gold Nanoparticles and Polyphenol Oxidase

The results presented here demonstrate the important catalytic effect of a carbon paste electrode modified by dispersion of gold nanoparticles towards different electroactive compounds. The oxidation of hydrogen peroxide starts at potentials 400 mV less positive than at bare carbon paste, while the reduction, almost negligible at bare carbon paste, starts at 0.100 V. The influence of the size and amount of gold nanoparticles in the composite matrix on the response of the electrode is discussed. The incorporation of albumin within the carbon paste facilitates the dispersion of gold nanoparticles, improving substantially the catalytic effects. At carbon paste modified with gold nanoparticles and albumin, the peak potential separation for hydroquinone decreases from 0.385 V to 0.209 V while the reduction current increases from 16.6 to 75.2 μA. The immobilization of polyphenol oxidase within the carbon paste electrode modified with nanoparticles has allowed us to obtain a very sensitive biosensor for dopamine even in the presence of large excess of ascorbic acid.     

Bioelectrocatalytic Reduction of Peroxide Compounds on the Peroxidase–Nafion Composite

Electrochemical reactions of peroxide compounds (hydrogen peroxide and peracetic and perbenzoic acids) on an electrode of pyrocarbon with immobilized horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are studied. The immobilization of HRP is performed in the composition of a composite with Nafion whose structure is studied by a method of scanning tunneling microscopy. The proposed composite material provides for a high catalytic activity and stability of enzyme in the reaction of reduction of peroxide compounds. It is shown that the electrocatalytic reduction of the studied compounds on the electrode with the peroxidase–Nafion composite proceeds in conditions of direct bioelectrocatalysis. The effect of the solution pH and the concentration of substrates on the electrocatalytic activity of HRP in the composition of the composite is studied. On the basis of the obtained results a possible mechanism of the electrocatalytic reduction of peroxide compounds in the presence of HRP is suggested. The rate of a bioelectrocatalytic process is defined by the nature and concentration of the substrate as well as by the electrode potential and the solution pH.

On the adsorption of extended viologens at the electrode|electrolyte interface

Extended viologens represent a group of organic molecules intended to be used as molecular wires in molecular electronic devices. Adsorption properties of a novel series of extended viologen molecules were studied at the mercury electrode|electrolyte interface. These compounds form compact monolayers around the potential of zero charge with a constant differential capacitance value of 2.5 ± 0.2 μF cm(-2) independent of temperature, length of the molecule, and its bulk concentration. At more negative potentials their reduction in the adsorbed state takes place. We showed that the adsorption process is diffusion controlled and time needed to fully cover the electrode surface is independent of the electrode potential. A modified Koryta equation was employed for the calculation of the surface concentration of the adsorbates leading to the value of 5.3 × 10(-11) mol cm(-2) for the shortest wire and to 1.6 × 10(-11) mol cm(-2) for the longest one. Based on the space filling model and the differential capacitance value in the compact film region, it was postulated that these molecules lay flat on the electrode surface.     

Polarographic study of bis(2-pyridyl)disulphide di-N-oxide and bis(2-quinolyl)disulphide di-N-oxide in aqueous ethanol

The polarographic reduction of bis(2-pyridyl)- and of bis(2-quinolyl)disulphide di-N-oxide in aqueous alcohol yields aryl mercaptans. The electrode reaction is kinetically controlled by an initial one-electron transfer step, and values for the transfer coefficients and the specific heterogeneous rate constants for the forward reactions are presented. The polar N-oxide function in the alpha-position withdraws electrons from the disulphide bond, making the half-wave potential less negative than that of the diphenyl disulphide. The pk(a) values of the mercapto compounds formed have been evaluated and the low values obtained for the heterocyclic N-oxides are further evidence for tautomerism in these compounds.     

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.     

Capillary electrophoresis of some tetracycline antibiotics coupled with reductive fast cyclic voltammetric detection.

The separation and quantitative performance parameters for tetracycline, chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline antibiotics were investigated by capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with fast cyclic voltammetric detection. Optimization of pH and complexation with a boric acid-sodium tetraborate buffer provided good resolution of all compounds. Detection by electrochemical reduction using fast on-line cyclic voltammetric detection with a Hg-film-microm electrode gave detection limits (2 x peak-to-peak baseline noise) of 7 x 10(-7) mol/l for tetracycline and chlortetracycline, and 1.5 x 10(-6) mol/l for oxytetracycline. The influence of electrode material, potential range and scan rate was examined and discussed. Optimal electrochemical detection was obtained at a Hg-film electrode with a waveform that consisted of an initial constant potential of -0.6 V for 200 ms followed by a cyclic voltammetry (CV) scan at 300 V/s from - 0.6 V to a vertex potential of 1.7 V. The analytical signal was obtained by plotting the integrated values of the CV current from each applied waveform as a function of time. The calibration plot (peak areas) for each separated peak was found to be linear over three-orders of magnitude.

Study of the interaction between oxygen and bile salts

The interaction between molecular oxygen and bile salts, previously observed using chemiluminescence techniques, is studied in this paper by electrochemical techniques to further highlight the nature of the interaction. A shift of half-wave potential of the first polarographic wave for the reduction of molecular oxygen was observed in solutions in the presence of bile salts. The shift could be related to different phenomena, such as adsorption of bile salt molecules on the mercury electrode, irreversibility of the oxygen reduction reaction, pH of the solution. Experimental results suggest the exclusion of the above mentioned processes and outline the occurrence of a direct interaction between oxygen and bile salts, where the hydrophobic face of bile salt monomers and/or small aggregates are involved, enhancing so dismutation of superoxide ion produced at the electrode. The presence of bile salts in solutions containing triphenylphosphine oxide, a hydrophobic surfactant, increases also the wave of reduction of molecular oxygen. As a consequence bile salts, beside the well-assessed physiological roles, can behave as oxygen carrier and as antioxidant, preventing the oxidation of biological compounds by superoxide ion.
