Electrochemistry of individual molecules in zeptoliter volumes

Electrochemical experiments were carried out in a nanometer-sized cylindrical thin layer cell (TLC) formed by etching the surface of a disk-type platinum nanoelectrode (5- to 150-nm radius). Using high frequency ac voltage, the surface of such an electrode was etched to remove a very thin (> or = 1-nm-thick) layer of Pt. The resulting zeptoliter-scale cavity inside the glass sheath was filled with aqueous solution containing redox species, and the etched electrode was immersed in a dry (no external solution) pool of mercury to produce a TLC. Several approaches based on steady-state voltammetry and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) were developed to independently evaluate the electrode radius and the etched volume. The number of redox molecules in the TLC could be varied between one and a few hundred by changing its volume and solution concentration. In this way, the transition between a random and deterministic number of trapped molecules was observed. High quality steady-state voltammograms of > or = 1 molecules were obtained for different neutral and charged redox species and different concentrations of supporting electrolyte. The analysis of such voltammograms yields information about mass transfer, adsorption, electron transfer kinetics, and double-layer effects on the nanoscale.

Electrochemistry of surface-grafted stimulus-responsive monolayers of poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilane) on gold

Poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilane)s with various degrees of polymerization and featuring a thiol end group were chemically end-grafted onto gold substrates by self-assembly, forming redox-active monolayers. The monolayers were characterized by contact angle measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Layer thickness values were determined by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and ellipsometry. The electrochemical properties of these films in aqueous NaClO(4) were studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and chronocoulometry. Cyclic voltammograms showed two reversible redox peaks, indicating a stepwise oxidation of the electroactive sites. The first oxidation step showed reversible behavior at low scan rates and quasi-reversible behavior at higher scan rates. Peak currents (i(p)) plotted against the square root of scan rates (v(1/2)) for the first oxidation peak and for the corresponding reduction peak exhibited a linear dependence, indicating that the oxidation process in the first step is controlled by the diffusion of counterions into the polymer film. For the second oxidation peak and the corresponding reduction peak, i(p) varied linearly with v. This redox behavior is characteristic of surface-immobilized electroactive layers. The higher reversibility of the second oxidation and reduction waves in the CV experiments was explained from the solvation of the surface-grafted poly(ferrocenylsilane) (PFS) chains, which depends on the degree of oxidation. Oxidized PFS films are swollen in the aqueous electrolyte solutions, leading to a higher segmental mobility of the polymer chains and a much increased counterion mobility within the film. Kinetic parameters for the redox processes were obtained from chronocoulometry experiments.     

Application of Elimination Voltammetry to the Resolution of Adenine and Cytosine Signals in Oligonucleotides II. Hetero‐Oligodeoxynucleotides with Different Sequences of Adenine and Cytosine Nucleotides

Elimination voltammetry with linear scan (EVLS) was applied to the resolution of reduction signals of adenine (A) and cytosine (C) residues in short synthetic hetero‐oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) with different sequences of A and C. The EVLS evaluation required linear sweep voltammograms measured on a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) at different scan rates. Compared to linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and usual voltammetric methods the EVLS is capable of resolving the overlapped A and C signals, specifically by using the elimination function which eliminates the charging and kinetic currents (I_c, I_k) and conserves the diffusion current (I_d). Since for an adsorbed electroactive substance this elimination function yields a well readable peak–counterpeak signal, the adsorptive stripping (AdS) procedure was favorably used. The adsorption of ODNs was carried out at ?0.1 V for accumulation time of 120 s under stirring. It was found that heights and potentials of LSV signals were affected by ODNs concentrations, pH, scan rates, time of accumulation, and stirring speed during the adsorption. While on LSV curves the only one reduction peak of A and C residues was observed in all ODNs, the EVLS yielded two separated peaks in dependence on A, C sequences and pH. Our results showed that the EVLS in connection with the AdS procedure is a useful tool for qualitative and quantitative studies of short ODNs and a promising sensitive method for the development of electrochemical sensor following the ODN sequences.     

Electrochemical investigations of oligomers and polymers containing ruthenium- and iron-arene complexes

Cyclic voltammetry was employed to investigate the electrochemical behavior of numerous cyclopentadienyliron (CpFe⁺) and pentamethyl-cyclopentadienylruthenium (Cp*Ru⁺) coordinated oligomers and polymers. The electrochemical behavior of the iron systems indicated the cyclopentadienyliron complexes had isolated redox centers and that changes in the reversibility of the redox couple occurred with changes in solvent and temperature. In contrast, the monometallic ruthenium systems showed large peak separations that suggested slow kinetics on the CV timescale. The cyclic voltammograms of the larger ruthenium-containing oligomers and polymers showed multiple redox steps indicating complex electrochemical behavior.

Protein film voltammetry: electrochemical enzymatic spectroscopy. A review on recent progress

This review is focused on the basic principles, the main applications, and the theoretical models developed for various redox mechanisms in protein film voltammetry, with a special emphasis to square-wave voltammetry as a working technique. Special attention is paid to the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of relevant enzymes studied in the last decade at various modified electrodes, and their use as a platform for the detection of reactive oxygen species is also discussed. A set of recurrent formulas for simulations of different redox mechanisms of lipophilic enzymes is supplied together with representative simulated voltammograms that illustrate the most relevant voltammetric features of proteins studied under conditions of square-wave voltammetry.     

Electrochemical behaviour of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) in a room-temperature ionic liquid

The cyclic voltammetry responses and the redox switching dynamics of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) in a room-temperature ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide (EMImTf₂N), were investigated. The shape of the cyclic voltammograms showed two anodic and two cathodic peaks. These peak currents varied linearly with the scan rate indicating a thin-layer behaviour. No memory effects were observed during the cyclic voltammetry experiments in this ionic liquid. On the other hand, the redox switching dynamics of PEDOT were studied by means of potential step experiments. The analysis of chronocoulograms in term of RC-circuits indicated that the time dependence of the charge transferred during the potential step showed two time constants. These results were consistent with the postulated structure or morphology of the PEDOT film which contained two types of coexisting zones: a compact and an open structures.     

Theoretical Contribution towards Understanding Specific Behaviour of “Simple” Protein‐film Reactions in Square‐wave Voltammetry

Surface reactions of uniformly adsorbed redox molecules at working electrode surface are seen as adequate models to studying chemical reactivity of many lipophilic enzymes. When considered under pulse voltammetric techniques, these systems show several uncommon features, whose origin is still not completely clear. The phenomena of “quasireverible maximum”, “splitting” of the net peak in square‐wave voltammetry, and the very steep descent of Faradaic currents of simple surface redox reactions exhibiting fast electron transfer are just some of the features that make these systems quite interesting for further elaborations. In this work, we present a set of theoretical calculations under conditions of square‐wave voltammetry in order try to explain some of aforementioned phenomena. The major goal of our work is to get insight to some voltammetric and chrono‐amperometric features of two considered surface reactions, i. e. (1) the “simple” surface redox reaction, and (2) surface redox reaction coupled to follow‐up irreversible chemical reaction of electrochemically generated redox species (or surface ECirr). We focus on the role of created Red(ads) (here in the reduction pulses only) to the current components of calculated square‐wave voltammograms exhibiting fast electrode reaction. We show that the irreversible chemical removal of electrochemically generated Red(ads) species, created in the potential pulses where half‐reaction of reduction Ox(ads)+ne‐?→Red(ads) is “defined” to take place, causes significant increase of all square‐wave current components. The results presented in this work show how complex the chrono‐amperometric features of surface redox reactions under pulse voltammetric conditions might be. In addition, we point out that both half reactions of a given simple surface redox process can occur, at both, “only reduction” and “only oxidation” potential pulses in square‐wave voltammetry. This, in turn, contributes to the occurrence of many phenomena observed in simple protein‐film voltammetry reactions. The effects of chemical reaction rate to the features of calculated square‐wave voltammograms of surface ECirr systems with fast electrode reaction are reported for the first time in this work.
