Electrochemical determination of maltol in beverages with glassy carbon electrode and its silica sol-gel modified electrode

The electrochemical behavior of maltol on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode was investigated. The results were applied to differential pulse voltammetric determination of maltol in beverages pretreated by ultrafiltration. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the linear range is 1×10⁻⁵ to 6×10⁻⁴ mol l⁻¹ maltol and the relative standard deviation for 0.4 mmol l⁻¹ maltol is 0.6% (n=9). The detection limit was 5 μmol l⁻¹. Furthermore, silica sol-gel film on GC electrode could be used as suitable selective membrane, which integrated selective membrane on the electrode and substituted for the pretreatment of ultrafiltration. Under the above conditions, maltol was determined by semi-differential linear sweep voltammetry at a silica sol-gel modified GC electrode in the concentration range of 5×10⁻⁶ to 5×10⁻⁴ mol l⁻¹. The detection limit was 2 μmol l⁻¹ and the relative standard deviation for 0.1 mmol l⁻¹ maltol was 0.7% (n=7). The proposed method is of sensitivity, simplicity, rapidness and no contamination. It had been applied to the direct determination of maltol in beverages such as grape wines, drinks and beers without any pretreatment. The results obtained with the present method were satisfactory with those obtained by spectrophotometry. It could be used as a simple and practical method for the determination of the flavor enhancer maltol in beverages.     

Redox behavior of biofilm on glassy carbon electrode

Marine and freshwater biofilm usually shift the open circuit potential (OCP) of stainless steel towards the electropositive direction by + 450 mV vs SCE. The nature of oxide film and bacterial metabolism were also correlated with ennoblement process by various investigators. Glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was used in the present study and a shifting of potential in the positive side (+ 450 mV) was noticed. It indicates that biofilm contributes to the ennoblement process without any n/p-type semiconducting oxide film. The nature of the cathodic curve for the biofilm covered GCE is compared with the previous literature on the electrochemical behavior of stainless steel. The present study explains the oxidation and reduction peaks of biofilm covered GCE by cyclic voltammetry. Electrochemical impedance result reveals the diffusion process within the manganese biofilm. The present study confirms the previous investigations that the manganese biofilm rules the electrochemical behavior of materials and suggests that oxide film is not necessary to assist the ennoblement process.

Halosulfuron methyl, a fast-acting herbicide and is absorbed into leaf tissue within 1-2 days and translocated through the vascular system, interrupting amino acid production within the plant, can be detected using glassy carbon electrode the technique of adsorptive stripping voltammetry. The adsorptive stripping voltammetric behavior of halosulfuron methyl was investigated in pH range 1.0-10.0. Halosulfuron methyl was irreversibly oxidized at a glassy carbon electrode. Electrochemical techniques including adsorptive stripping voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry were employed to study the oxidation mechanism. The experimental parameters such as the accumulation potential, accumulation time and frequency were optimized. The linear range, detection limit and quantification for halosulfuron methyl were evaluated by adsorptive stripping voltammetry. Under the optimized conditions, the peak current is linear to halosulfuron methyl concentration in the range 4.1-50.0 μg mL⁻¹. Limit of detection and limit of quantification were 1.23 and 4.10 μg mL⁻¹, respectively. The interference of inorganic species and other some pesticides on the voltammetric response have been studied. The applicability to spiked soil and natural water was described and the recoveries for the standards added are 103.8% and 108.2%, respectively. The method is successfully applied for the determination of halosulfuron methyl in commercial formulation.     

Electrochemical Behavior of Thalidomide at a Glassy Carbon Electrode

Thalidomide is an oral drug marketed in the 1950s as a sedative and an anti‐emetic during pregnancy that was removed from the market when its teratogenic side effects appeared in new born children due to inadequate tests to assess the drug's safety. Recent studies evaluating the use of thalidomide in cancer and HIV diseases have sparked renewed interest. The electrochemical behavior of thalidomide on a glassy carbon electrode has been investigated using cyclic, differential and square‐wave voltammetry in aqueous media at different pHs. The oxidation mechanism of thalidomide is an irreversible, adsorption‐controlled process, pH dependent up to values close to the pK_a and occurs in two consecutive charge transfer reactions. A mechanism of oxidation of thalidomide involving one electron and one proton to produce a cation radical, which reacts with water and yields a final hydroxylated product is proposed. The reduction of thalidomide is also a pH dependent, irreversible process and occurs in a single step, with the same number of electrons and protons transferred. The reduction mechanism involves the protonation of the nitrogen that bridges the two cyclic groups, and the product of the protonation reaction causes irreversible dissociation. Both thalidomide and the non electroactive oxidation and reduction products are strongly adsorbed on the glassy carbon electrode surface.

Electrochemical behavior of some triazine derivatives at glassy carbon electrode in non-aqueous media

Electroreduction of 4-amino-6-methyl-3-thio-1,2,4-triazine-5-one (I), 6-methyl-3-thio-1,2,4-triazine-5-one (II), and 2,4-dimethoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine (III) in dimethylformamide was investigated. Electrochemical techniques including differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry, and coulometry were employed to study the mechanism of the electrode process. From the analysis of the voltammetric and spectroscopic experiments a mechanism was proposed for the electroreduction of thio-triazine and triazine compounds. Compounds I and II having thiol groups exhibited similar redox behavior. Both compounds displayed two cathodic peaks, whereas the third compound (III), with no thiol group, showed only one cathodic peak in the same potential range as the second peak of compounds I and II.The results of this study show that in the former wave, the one electron reduction of thiol led to a dimer (disulfide) species and in the latter, the triazine ring was reduced in a two-electron process. The effects of various physical and electrochemical parameters were studied and the electrochemical behavior of the monomers was reported as a function of these parameters. A completely irreversible behavior was observed from cyclic voltammograms obtained under different conditions. Furthermore, in this study some numerical constants, such as diffusion constant, transfer coefficient, and rate constant of coupled chemical reaction were determined.     

Electrochemical Oxidation of Pentoxifylline and its Analysis in Pure and Pharmaceutical Formulations at a Glassy Carbon Electrode

Abstract

The oxidative behavior of pentoxifylline was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in phosphate buffer solutions using cyclic and differential-pulse voltammetry. The oxidation process was shown to be irreversible over the pH range (3.0–9.0) and was diffusion controlled. The possible mechanism of the oxidation of pentoxifylline was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis spectroscopy. An analytical method was developed for the determination of pentoxifylline in phosphate buffer solution at pH 3.0 as a supporting electrolyte. The anodic peak current varied linearly with pentoxifylline concentration in the range 2.0 × 10^?8 M to 6.0 × 10^?7 M of pentoxifylline with a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.42 × 10^?10 M. The proposed method was applied to the determination of pentoxifylline in pure and pharmaceutical formulations.     

Chronopotentiometric analysis of tocopherols using a glassy carbon vessel as the working electrode

Using a specific electrochemical cell with a glassy carbon vessel as the working electrode, a significant enhancement of the chronopotentiometric determination of tocopherols was achieved. Due to the large area of the working electrode, the method sensitivity was increased approximately 50-fold compared to the common electrochemical cell with a glassy-carbon disc electrode. Limits of quantitation of approximately 0.35 mg/dm³ for α-, γ- and δ-tocopherol were obtained. The influence of the most important experimental factors was investigated and the method defined was applied for tocopherol determination in crude vegetable oils. The tocopherol content was determined by standard solutions prepared in a matrix of animal fat. An absolute method for γ- and δ-tocopherol quantitation is also described.

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence at bare glassy carbon electrode in basic media

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) with three peaks at bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was observed as potential scanning between 0 and 2.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl in basic media. The peak potentials were seated at ca. 1.36 V, 1.72 V and 2.34 V in the positive sweeping, denoted as from ECL-I to ECL-III, respectively. Mechanisms of such ECL phenomena were proposed. For ECL-I peaked at 1.36 V, it might attribute to the oxidation of surface functional groups that analogy to alcoholic hydroxyl connected to the skeleton of GCE (S–R–CH₂OH), and the following ECL-II at 1.72 V, to the further oxidation of their products (S–R–CHO) to carbonyl compound (S–R–COO⁻). While for ECL-III at a high positive potential ca. 2.34 V, it was supposed to be related to the formation of singlet O₂ and its further conversion to triplet state.

Determination of nitrite with a nano-gold modified glassy carbon electrode by cyclic voltammetry

Abstract

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) was employed to determine the concentration of rare earth elements (REEs) in plants and soils. Sample preparation and analytical conditions were investigated to set up a simple routine procedure for measuring rare earth elements. For prompt sample decomposition, a microwave digestion technique was successfully used with an acid mixture of HCl+HNO₃+HF. Detection limits, reproducibility, accuracy and possible interference were also studied. ICP-MS provided extremely low detection limits for REEs (0.6–6ng/l). Precision was typically better than 6% RSD (relative standard deviation) for soil and 10% for plant. The potential of the method was evaluated by analysis of standard reference materials of soils and plants. A good agreement between the experimental results and certified values was observed. The spectroscopic interference of Ba with Eu and light REEs(LREEs, La-Eu) with heavy REEs(HREEs, Gd-Lu) were eliminated by the algebra correction.

The results suggested that REEs in soil samples existed mainly as light REEs, and the same concentration distribution patterns of Oddo-Hakins law were observed, showing negative gradient from La to Lu concentrations. The REE contents in plants were very low, less than 20μg/g and varied with plant species. Apart from rape leaf(Brassica juncea), the REE distribution patterns in other plant leaves were consistent with soils, indicating that these plants generally absorbed REEs from soil without selectivity. Rape leaf showed selective absorption for LREEs, especially for La. The REE concentration distribution in parts of hot pepper(Capsicum annuum) was characteriaed by root>leaf>stem>fruit. The REEs absorbed by hot pepper concentrated mainly in roots and leaves, very little migrated into fruit. Transfer factors(TFs) of REEs in plants were very low. Although the contents of LREEs were relatively more than those of HREEs, no distinct difference of TFs between LREEs and HREEs was observed, meaning that LREEs and HREEs have the same abilities of transportation. However, for rape leaf, the TFs of LREEs were one or two orders of magnitude higher than those of HREEs.     

Electrochemical Oxidation Mechanism of Ethidium Bromide at a Glassy Carbon Electrode

The electrochemical behavior of ethidium bromide (EtBr) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was studied by cyclic, square wave and differential pulse voltammetry over a wide pH interval. The results revealed that the oxidation mechanism of EtBr is an irreversible and adsorption‐controlled electrode process that occurs in two consecutives steps. The first step is pH‐dependent and occurs at the amino group in the C8 position with the formation of ortho‐ and para‐quinone derivatives, while the second step is pH‐independent and occurs at the amino group in the C3 position. A square wave method for quantitative determination of EtBr is also proposed.     

Cyclic voltammetric and computational study of a 4-bromophenyl monolayer on a glassy carbon electrode

A glassy carbon (GC) surface modified with monolayer of 4-bromophenyl was examined as voltammetric electrode for some redox systems. The modified electrode exhibited very slow electron transfer in comparison to the unmodified surface by factors which varied with the redox systems. However, after scanning the modified electrode in 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBABF₄) in acetonitrile from 0.4 to −1.1 V vs. Ag/AgCl for 20–25 cycles, the modified electrode showed much faster electron transfer kinetics, e.g., the results for Fe(CN)₆ ^3−/4− were approaching those observed with unmodified surfaces. The effect is attributed to an apparently irreversible structural change in the 4-bromophenyl monolayer, which increases the rate of electron tunneling. The transition to the conducting state is associated with electron injection into the monolayer and causes a significant decrease in the calculated HOMO-LUMO gap for the monolayer molecule. Once the monolayer is switched to the conducting state, it supports rapid electron exchange with the redox system, but not with dopamine, which requires adsorption to the electrode surface. A conductive surface modified electrode may have useful properties for electroanalytical applications and possibly in electrocatalysis. Correspondence: Abbas A.

Is glassy carbon a really inert electrode material for the reduction of carbon–halogen bonds?

Dissociative electron transfer (DET) to various organic halides has been investigated at glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) in acetonitrile. It is shown that the surface composition of GCEs significantly affects the reduction peak potential of RX, an increase of the oxygen-to-carbon ratio apparently causing a positive shift of E_p. This catalytic effect depends on both GCE surface composition and DET mechanism, appreciable catalysis being observed only when the initial electron transfer plays a crucial role in the overall kinetics of the process. The highest observed peak potential difference is of the order of 0.1 V found for some alkyl halides undergoing a concerted DET.
