Autoprotolysis constants and standardization of the glass electrode in acetonitrile-water mixtures. Effect of solvent composition

Standard e.m.f.s for the cell GE/HCl/AgCl/Ag/Pt (GE=glass electrode) in acetonitrile-water mixtures containing 0–70% (w/w) of acetonitrile were obtained. Values of the autoprotolysis constant, K_ap, of these mixed solvents were also determined from e.m.f. measurements of the cell GE/KCl + KS/AgCl/Ag/Pt.

Over the whole of the composition range studied the pK_ap values were linearly correlated with the mole fraction of acetonitrile and with the reciprocal of the relative permittivity of solvent mixtures. Linear relationships were also obtained for pK_ap values vs. the Kamlet-Taft π^★ polarizability/dipolarity parameter in the range 0–50% (w/w).

Following the IUPAC-endorsed procedure, the primary pH standards offered by the equimolal phosphate buffer (Na₂HPO₄ (0.01 mol⋅kg⁻¹) + KH₂PO₄ (0.01 mol⋅kg⁻¹)) in the (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone + water) solvent mixture of 50 mass percent composition at various temperatures have been determined from potential difference measurements with the reversible Harned cell. Since the essential prerequisite of the above procedure is the knowledge of the (hitherto unknown) standard potential difference of Harned’s cell, a parallel supplementary series of potential difference measurements has been carried out with the reversible cell, Pt|H₂|HCl(m)|AgCl|Ag|Pt according to the classical thermodynamic procedure. The problem of comparability of the pH scale in the (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone + water) solvent with that in the pure water solvent is duly discussed in terms of primary medium effects.

A glass capillary microelectrode based on capillarity and its application to the detection of L-glutamate release from mouse brain slices.

A new glass capillary microelectrode for L-glutamate is described using pulled glass capillaries (tip size, approximately 12.5 microm) with a very small volume (approximately 2 microl) of inner solution containing glutamate oxidase (GluOx) and ascorbate oxidase. The operation of the electrode is based on capillary action that samples L-glutamate into the inner solution. The enzyme reaction by GluOx generates hydrogen peroxide that is detected at an Os-gel-HRP polymer modified Pt electrode in a three-electrode configuration. The amperometric response behavior of the electrode was characterized in terms of the capillarity, response time, sensitivity and selectivity for measurements of L-glutamate. The currents at 0 V vs. Ag/AgCl increased linearly with the L-glutamate concentration from 10 to 150 microM for in vitro and in situ calibrations. The response was highly selective to L-glutamate over ascorbate, dopamine, serotonin and other amino acids. The detection of L-glutamate in the extracellular fluids of different regions of mouse hippocampal slices under stimulation of KCl was demonstrated.
