Voltammetric determination of mesotrione at hanging mercury drop electrode

A study of the electrochemical reduction of the mesotrione pesticide on a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) was performed as a basis for the development of a sensitive analytical method for natural samples. The electrochemical characteristics of herbicide mesotrione dissolved in a phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) have been determined by means of electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) over a wide range of pH from 2.0 to 10.0. The experimental parameters, such as electrolyte type and its pH, pulse amplitude, and scan rate were optimized. The method was applied to the determination of the pesticide in a spiked soil samples. Using this method, a linear calibration curve for mesotrione was obtained up to the 0.1 μM range in pH 7 phosphate buffer solution with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 50 nM. The method can be applied successfully to the determination of mesotrione in soils. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Electrocatalytic Properties and Voltammetric Determination of Melatonin at a Nanostructured Film Electrode

A multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) film coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated, and the electrochemical behavior of melatonin on the MWNT film coated GCE was investigated. The oxidation peak current of melatonin increases significantly and the oxidation peak position shifts positively at the MWNT film modified GCE compared to that at a bare GCE. This indicates that MWNTs feature highly effective catalysis to the electrochemical oxidation of melatonin. A simple and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of melatonin. The oxidation peak current is proportional to the concentration of melatonin from 8×10^–8 to 1×10^–5molL^–1. The detection limit is about 2×10^–8molL^–1 for 3min accumulation. The proposed method was demonstrated to work satisfactorily with commercial capsules.     

Voltammetric determination of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) at a carbon paste electrode modified with vanadyl(IV)-Salen complex

The preparation and electrochemical characterization of a carbon paste electrode modified with the N,N-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminato)oxovanadium(IV) complex [VO(Salen)] as well as its behavior in relation to the oxidation of pyridoxine (Vitamin B₆) are described. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode and the electrooxidation of pyridoxine were investigated using cyclic voltammetry. The best voltammetric response was obtained for an electrode composition of 15% (m/m) [VO(Salen)] in the paste, KCl solution of pH 5.5-8.0 and scan rate of 25 mV s⁻¹. A sensitive linear voltammetric response for pyridoxine was obtained in the concentration range of 4.5×10⁻⁴ to 3.3×10⁻³ mol l⁻¹ with a slope of 42.5 μA mmol⁻¹ l, and a detection limit (3σ/slope) of 3.7×10⁻⁵ mol l⁻¹ using linear sweep voltammetry. Among several compounds tested only Vitamin B₁ seems to interfere in the analyte signal. The concentrations of pyridoxine in pharmaceutical formulations using the proposed electrode and an official spectrophotometric method based in the reaction with N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine are in agreement at the 95% confidence level and within an acceptable range of error.     

A simple linear sweep voltammetric method for the determination of double-stranded DNA with malachite green

In pH 3.5 Britton—Robinson buffer solution double-stranded (ds) DNA can react with malachite green (MG) to form an interaction complex, which resulted in the decrease of the electrochemical response of MG, MG had a well-defined second-order derivative linear sweep voltammetric peak at −0.73 V (vs. SCE). After the addition of dsDNA into MG solution, the reductive peak current decreased with the positive shift of peak potential, which was the typical characteristic of intercalation. Based on the interaction, an indirect electrochemical determination method for dsDNA was established. The optimum conditions for the reaction were investigated and there were little or no interferences from the commonly coexisting substances. The decrease of peak current was linear with the concentration of dsDNA over the range of 0.8–12.0 μg cm⁻³ with the linear regression equation as ΔI _p″/nA = 91.70 C/(μg cm⁻³) + 74.55 (n = 10, γ = 0.990). The detection limit was calculated as 0.46 μg cm⁻³ (3σ). The method had high sensitivity and was further applied to the dsDNA synthetic samples with satisfactory result. The interaction mechanism was discussed with the intercalation of DNA-MG to form a supramolecular complex and the stoichiometry of the supramolecular complex was calculated by electrochemical method with the binding number 3 and the binding constant 2.35 × 10¹⁵ (mol dm⁻³)⁻³.

Two spectrophotometric methods are described for the simultaneous determination of binary mixtures of Sn(II) and Sn(IV) in water samples and fruit juice samples, without prior separation steps, using the mean centering of ratio kinetic profiles and partial least squares (PLS) methods.

Artificial neural networks for simultaneous spectrophotometric differential kinetic determination of Co(II) and V(IV)

A method for simultaneous analysis of V(IV) and Co(II) has been developed by using artificial neural network (ANN). This method is based on the difference of the chemical reaction rate of V(IV) and Co(II) with Fe(III) in the presence of chromogenic reagent, 1,10-phenanthroline. The reduced product of the reaction, Fe(II), can form a colored complex with 1,10-phenanthroline and make a visible spectrophotometric signal for indirect monitoring of the V(IV) and Co(II) concentrations. Feed forward neural networks have been trained to quantify considered metal ions in mixtures under optimum conditions. The networks were shown to be capable of correlating reduced spectral kinetic data using principal component analysis (PCA) of mixtures with individual metal ion. In this way an ANN containing three layers of nodes was trained. Sigmoidal and linear transfer functions were used in the hidden and output layers, respectively, to facilitate nonlinear calibration. Both V(IV) and Co(II) were analyzed in the concentration range of 0.1-4.0 μg ml⁻¹. The proposed method was also applied satisfactorily to the determination of considered metal ions in several synthetic and water samples.     

Voltammetric determination of nitroaromatic and nitramine explosives contamination in soil

The contamination of soil by nitroaromatic and nitramine explosives is widespread during the manufacture, testing and disposal of explosives and ammunitions. The analysis for the presence of trace explosive contaminants in soil becomes important in the light of their effect on the growth of different varieties of plants and crops. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT), cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (Research Department explosive, RDX) and cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (high melting point explosive, HMX), other related explosive compounds and their by-products must be monitored in soil and surrounding waterways since these are mutagenic, toxic and persistent pollutants that can leach from the contaminated soil to accumulate in the food chain. In this study, a voltammetric method has been developed for the determination of explosive such as RDX, HMX and TNT. The electrochemical redox behavior of RDX, HMX and TNT was studied through cyclic voltammetry and quantitative determination was carried out by using square wave voltammetry technique. Calibration curves were drawn and were linear in the range of 63-129 ppm for RDX with a detection limit of 10 ppm, 49-182 ppm for HMX with a detection limit of 1 ppm and 38-139 ppm for TNT with a detection limit of 1 ppm. This method was applied to determine the contaminations in several soil samples that yielded a relative error of 1% in the concentrations.

Spectrophotometric investigation of the complexation equilibria of zirconium(IV) withlawsone and determination of zirconium

Summary The complexation equilibria of zirconium(IV) withlawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) have been studied spectrophotometrically in 40% (v/v) ethanol at 20°C and at an ionic strength of 0.1M (NaClO₄). A complete picture of the solution equilibria in thepH range 1.5–4.0 is presented. The absorbance vs.pH graphs were analyzed to characterize the complexation equilibria in solution. A simple, rapid, selective, and sensitive method for the spectrophotometric determination of zirconium is proposed based on the formation of Zr(lawsone)₂ atpH 3.3(_max=450 nm, =1.13×10⁴l · mol^–1 · cm^–1). The interference caused by a number of ions can be masked by the addition of cyanide. The method has been applied to the determination of zirconium in some synthetic samples.
