酸性和碱性介质中甘氨酸解离吸附和氧化的EQCM研究

用电化学石英晶体微天平(EQCM)研究酸性和碱性介质中甘氨酸在Pt电极上的吸附和氧化过程.结果表明,甘氨酸的解离吸附和氧化行为与溶液的酸碱性密切相关.酸性溶液中甘氨酸吸附较弱,碱性溶液中则产生强吸附物,且当电位低于0V(vs.SCE)时可吸附于Pt电极表面.此外,碱性溶液中甘氨酸还表现出较高的电氧化活性.通过EQCM定量检测上述过程中Pt电极表面的质量变化,测定了不同电位区间(氢区、双电层区和氧区)每传递一个电子所对应的电极表面吸附物种的平均摩尔质量.

Electrode process of Nd-Fe alloy formed on iron electrode in molten chlorides

The cyclic voltammetry, convolution voltammetry and chronopotentiometry were used to study the electrode process of Nd (III) reduced on iron electrode in molten NaCl-KCl-NdCl₃ from 700 to 850°C. The electrodeposited products were analysed by X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that the intermetallic compound Fe₂Nd forms first, and then the metallic neodymium deposits when Nd (III) is reduced on iron electrode. The Nd-Fe alloys rich in neodymium can be obtained by electrolysis with iron cathode in molten chlorides. The Nd-Fe alloys are composed of Fe₂Nd and Nd.     

Adsorption of neodymium ions on activated charcoal from aqeous solutions

Summary A commercial activated charcoal has been tested as an adsorbent for the removal of neodymium ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption behavior of neodymium ions on activated charcoal from aqueous solutions has been studied as a function of shaking time, neodymium ions concentration and concentration of different acids. Results reveal that the adsorption equilibrium is attained within 30 minutes, and diffusion of neodymium ions into the pores of activated charcoal controls the adsorption process. The adsorption process follows the first order kinetics. The Langmuir isotherm equation was obeyed well in the whole range of concentration studied. The influence of different cations and anions on the adsorption of neodymium ion from aqueous solutions have also been investigated. Approximately 98% of neodymium ions adsorbed onto activated charcoal could be recovered with 40 ml of 3M HNO₃ solutions.     

Polarographic determination of glycine with a dropping copper amalgam electrode

The anodic oxidation of a dropping copper amalgam electrode in presence of dilute solutions of glycine in 0.50 M NaClO₄ has been studied. An anodic wave at ?0.28V (SCE) is observed, yielded by diffusion of glycinate anion in the solution towards the electrode surface. The wave-heights increase with the glycinate concentration (function of glycine concentration and pH value) until the anodic oxidation is controlled by the metal diffusion into mercury. The effect of pH is interpreted by attributing it to the depolarizer effects at glycinate anion even though the zwitterion is present in much larger concentrations. The applicability of anodic oxidation of a dropping copper amalgam electrode in the determination of glycine in the range of concentrations 10^?4–10^?2M with a rigorous control of pH (8.0<pH<10.5) is shown. The standard deviation of the proposed method is 4.1% and the minimum concentration determinable is in the 1×10^?4M range.     

金与银电极表面甘氨酸分子吸附作用的SERS光谱研究

本文利用表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)技术研究了甘氨酸在金与银基底表面的吸附作用特征。研究表明甘氨酸分子以COO-的不对称形式吸附于金电极表面,且NH2也是其可能的吸附位点;而在银电极表面,则主要是通过COO-的对称形式而吸附。在此基础上,进一步研究了电极电位与溶液酸碱性对吸附于粗糙化银电极表面甘氨酸分子吸附作用的影响。研究结果表明,甘氨酸分子中去质子化羧基的吸附作用受电位影响较小,而电位对-NH3+吸附作用的影响程度较大。另一方面,溶液pH值对银电极表面的甘氨酸分子吸附行为的影响也较为显著。随着溶液酸性减小羧基倾向于相对于电极表面平行吸附。这是由于随着溶液碱性增大氨基质子化程度的减小,有利于氨基在银电极表面吸附。这将改变分子的吸附构型使其更接近于电极表面。这些变化主要出现在pH值大于10的条件下。     

Fabrication of a high sensitive glycine electrochemical sensor based on immobilization of nanostructured Ni chelidamic acid and bimetallic Au-Pt inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposite onto glassy carbon modified electrode

In this research a novel nickel complex was used as electrocatalyst for electrooxidation of glycine. A nano-structured nickel chelidamic acid was electrodeposited on a bimetallic Au-Pt inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposite modified electrode. The electrode possesses a three-dimensional (3D) porous network nanoarchitecture, in which the bimetallic Au-Pt NPs serving as metal nanoparticle based microelectrode ensembles are distributed in the matrix of interlaced 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) organic nanofibers (NFs). Electrocatalytic oxidation of glycine on the surface of modified electrode was investigated with cyclic voltammetry method and the results showed that the nickel chelidamic acid films displayed excellent electrochemical catalytic activities towards glycine oxidation. The hydrodynamic amperometry at rotating modified electrode at constant potential versus reference electrode was used for detection of glycine. Under optimized conditions the calibration plots are linear in the concentration range 1 μM-0.75 mM and detection limit was found to be 0.3 μM.     

Electrochemical immunoassay for vitellogenin based on sequential injection using antigen-immobilized magnetic microbeads.

A rapid and sensitive immunoassay for the determination of vitellogenin (Vg) is described. The method involves a sequential injection analysis (SIA) system equipped with an amperometric detector and a neodymium magnet. Magnetic beads, onto which an antigen (Vg) was immobilized, were used as a solid support in an immunoassay. The introduction, trapping and release of magnetic beads in an immunoreaction cell were controlled by means of the neodymium magnet and by adjusting the flow of the carrier solution. The immunoassay was based on an indirect competitive immunoreaction of an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) labeled anti-Vg monoclonal antibody between the fraction of Vg immobilized on the magnetic beads and Vg in the sample solution. The immobilization of Vg on the beads involved coupling an amino group moiety of Vg with the magnetic beads after activation of a carboxylate moiety on the surface of magnetic beads that had been coated with a polylactate film. The Vg-immobilized magnetic beads were introduced and trapped in the immunoreaction cell equipped with the neodymium magnet; a Vg sample solution containing an ALP labeled anti-Vg antibody at a constant concentration and a p-aminophenyl phosphate (PAPP) solution were sequentially introduced into the immunoreaction cell. The product of the enzyme reaction of PAPP with ALP on the antibody, paminophenol, was transported to an amperometric detector, the applied voltage of which was set at +0.2 V vs. an Ag/AgCl reference electrode. A sigmoid calibration curve was obtained when the logarithm of the concentration of Vg was plotted against the peak current of the amperometric detector using various concentrations of standard Vg sample solutions (0-500 ppb). The time required for the analysis is less than 15 min.

Analytical Determination of N-(2-Mercapto Propionyl)Glycine (Tiopronin) by Voltammetric Methods

Abstract

The anodic processes which occur at the mercury electrode in N-(2-mercaptopropinyl)glycine (tiopronin) solutions are studied by polarographic techniques (d.c., d.p. and a.c₁.), controlled potential coulometry and cathodic stripping voltammetry. According to the observed electrochemical behaviour the overall electrode process is the formation of a mercury(II)-mercaptide. Adsorption on the electrode of both the mercaptide and the free thiol is present. The d.p.p. peak at -0.58 V or the voltammetric stripping peak at -0.56 V are used for the analytical determination of N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)glycine within the concentration ranges 7.0 10^?5 - 6.8 10^?6 mol 1^?1 or 3.0 10^?7 - 1.0 10^?9 mol I^?1, respectively. Calibration functions are reported in both cases. The interference of several organic compounds is described.     

The activity of calcium chloride in aqueous solutions of some amino acids at 25°C

The activity coefficients of calcium chloride in aqueous solutions of the amino acids glycine, β-alanine, γ-amino butyric acid, ε-aminocaproic acid, and glycylglycine have been determined with cells utilizing a calcium ion-exchange electrode. Application of the cross-differential relationship allows a measure of the variation of the salting-in parameter across the series of amino acids. The variation of this parameter is discussed using a semiempirical approach developed earlier.     

UV and fluorescence spectral changes induced by neodymium binding of N,N'-ethylenebis[2-(o-hydroxyphenolic)glycine] and N,N'-di(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N' diacetic acid

In 0.01 M 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (Hepes), pH 7.4 and room temperature, the binding of neodymium to N,N'-ethylenebis[2-(o-hydroxyphenolic)glycine] (EHPG), or N,N'-di(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N' diacetic acid (HBED) had been studied from 210 to 330 nm by means of difference UV spectra. Two peaks at 240 and 292 nm appear in difference UV spectra after neodymium binding to EHPG or HBED. The 1:1 stable complex can be confirmed from spectral titration curves. The molar extinction coefficient of Nd-EHPG and Nd-HBED complexes are Deltaepsilon(Nd-EHPG)=(12.93+/-0.21) x 10(3)cm(-1)M(-1), Deltaepsilon(Nd-HBED)=(14.45+/-0.51) x 10(5)cm(-1)M(-1) at 240 nm, respectively. Using EDTA as a competitor, the conditional equilibrium constants of the complexes are logK(Nd-EHPG)=11.89+/-0.09 and logK(Nd-HBED)=12.19+/-0.15, respectively. At the same conditions, fluorescence measurements show that neodymium binding to EHPG leads to a quenching of the fluorescence of EHPG at near 310 nm. However, there is no obvious fluorescence change of HBED at 318 nm with the binding of neodymium to HBED.     

Adsorption and oxidation of glycine on Au electrode: An in situ surface-enhanced infrared study

The adsorption and oxidation of glycine on Au surface are studied by cyclic voltammetry coupled with in situ surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy. The infrared spectra definitely indicate that glycine is adsorbed on the electrode with two oxygen atoms directing the C_α–C bond perpendicular to the surface. During glycine oxidation, cyanide is formed and oxidized to cyanate at high potentials. It is also shown that ureylene biradical species (deprotpnated urea) bonded to the surface via two nitrogen atoms is formed on oxidized Au surface. Combining experimental results reported in the literature, the mechanism of glycine electrooxidation is discussed.     

Analysis of bismuth base alloys : Ternary alloys containing uranium and neodymium or praseodymium

Procedures are described for the analysis of bismuth base alloys containing 0.2–5% of uranium and 0.2–5% of neodymium or praseodymium. Bismuth is first separated from a solution of the alloy in N nitric acid by extraction with diethylammonium diethyldithiocarbamate in chloroform, followed by the separation of uranium with the same reagent from an acetate buffered solution of pH 5.5–6.0. The uranium determination is completed by measuring the absorbancy of its diethyldithiocarbamate complex in chloroform. The neodymium or praseodymium is determined by titration with EDTA of the aqueous solution remaining after the separation of bismuth and uranium, using xylenol orange indicator in solutions of pH 5.6–5.8 EDTA is also used to determine the bismuth by direct titration of a separate aliquot of the sample solutions.

State of the Tb(III) and Nd(III) ions in concentrated solutions of electrolytes of various types

An investigation of the state of terbium and neodymium ions in solutions of various supporting electrolytes was conducted using an analysis of the electronic absorption spectra of Nd(II) and the fluorescence spectra of Tb(III). The supporting electrolytes selected were the salts LiSCN, LiCl, MgCl₂, NaCl, and CsCl, the concentration of which was varied within wide limits. The neodymium and terbium chloride concentrations were kept constant in all the solutions and equal to 0.015 and 0.03 M, respectively. To eliminate the influence of hydrolysis on the experimental results, all the solutions were acidified with hydrochloric acid (0.1 M).St. Petersburg University.

Measurement of activity coefficients of amino acids in aqueous electrolyte solutions: experimental data for the systems (H2O + NaBr + glycine) and (H2O + NaBr + l-valine) at T=298.15 K

Electrochemical cells with two ion-selective electrodes, a cation ion-selective electrode against an anion ion-selective electrode, were used to measure the activity coefficient of amino acids in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Activity coefficient data were measured for (H₂O + NaBr + glycine) and (H₂O + NaBr + l-valine) at T=298.15 K. The maximum concentrations of sodium bromide, glycine, and l-valine were (1.0, 2.4, and 0.4) mol · kg⁻¹, respectively. The results show that the presence of an electrolyte and the nature of both the cation and the anion of the electrolyte have significant effects on the activity coefficients of amino acid in aqueous electrolyte solutions.     

Determination of amino acids, vitamins, and drug substances in aqueous solutions using new potentiometric sensors with Donnan potential as analytical signal

Basic principles of a new potentiometric sensor are considered. Its analytical signal is the Donnan potential at the ion-exchange polymer/studied solution of electrolyte interface. Assessments of potential drops at individual interfaces are presented, same as estimates of diffusion potentials in the electrochemical circuit for measurement of the sensor response. It is shown that the overall contribution of the values of all potentials to EMF of the electrochemical circuit, except for the Donnan potential, at the ion-exchange polymer/studied solution interface are negligibly low as compared to the experimental values of the circuit EMF in the studied systems. Certain regularities of the Donnan potential formation are studied in the systems with the polymers of different structure and solutions containing inorganic ions and organic electrolytes in different ionic forms. The possibility is shown of using a sensor with such an analytical signal as the Donnan potential for assay of amino acids, vitamins, and drug substances in aqueous solutions. The sensor was used as a selective electrode for determination of lysine in aqueous solutions with neutral amino acids in the range of pH 5.0–7.0 and glycine in aqueous alkali solutions in the range of pH 9.00–11.00. The developed sensor is introduced as a cross-sensitive electrode into the array of multisensor systems for multicomponent quantitative analysis of the lysine monohydrochloride, thiamine chloride, novocaine hydrochloride, lidocaine hydrochloride solutions containing potassium and sodium chlorides. The measurement error of electrolytes in aqueous solutions did not exceed 10%.

Calibration of a solid-state copper ion-selective electrode in cupric ion buffers containing chloride

It is shown that near-Nernstian calibration slopes can be obtained with a Cu(1.8)Se electrode in a range of cupric ion buffers in spite of a high chloride content. Best results are obtained with the ligands ethylenediamine, glycine and histidine. The onset of cupric ion toxicity towards marine organisms falls within the pCu calibration range obtained with glycine, and the Cu(1.8)Se electrode could, therefore, be useful for monitoring cupric ion activity in bioassays in sea-water media.
