Simultaneous Determination of Dopamine and Ascorbic Acid Using the Nano‐Gold Self‐Assembled Glassy Carbon Electrode

Electrochemical behavior of dopamine (DA) was investigated at the gold nanoparticles self‐assembled glassy carbon electrode (GNP/LC/GCE), which was fabricated by self‐assembling gold nanoparticles on the surface of L ‐cysteine (LC) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) via successive cyclic voltammetry (CV). A pair of well‐defined redox peaks of DA on the GNP/LC/GCE was obtained at E_pa=0.197 V and E_pc=0.146 V, respectively. And the peak separation between DA and AA is about 0.2 V, which is enough for simultaneous determination of DA and AA. The peak currents of DA and AA were proportional with their concentrations in the range of 6.0×10^?8–8.5×10^?5 mol L^?1 and 1.0×10^?6–2.5×10^?3 mol L^?1, with the detection limit of 2.0×10^?8 mol L^?1 and 3.0×10^?7 mol L^?1 (S/N=3), respectively. The modified electrode exhibits an excellent reproducibility, sensibility and stability for simultaneous determination of DA and AA in human serum with satisfactory result.     

Simultaneous Determination of Dopamine and Ascorbic Acid at an In‐Site Functionalized Self‐Assembled Monolayer on Gold Electrode

The in‐site functionalization of 4‐aminothiophenol (4‐ATP) self‐assembled monolayer on gold electrode at physiological pH yields a redox active monolayer of 4′‐mercapto‐N‐phenylquinone diimine (MNPD). The functionalized electrode exhibits excellent electrocatalytic responses towards dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA), reducing the overpotentials by about 0.22 V and 0.34 V, respectively, with greatly enhanced current responses. Due to its different catalytic activities toward DA and AA, the modified electrode resolves the overlapping voltammetric responses of DA and AA into two well‐defined voltammetric peaks by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), which can be used for the simultaneous determination of these species in a mixture. The catalytic peak current obtained from DPV was linearly related to DA and AA concentration in the ranges of 5.0×10^?6?1.25×10^?4 M and 8.0×10^?6?1.3×10^?4 M with correlation coefficient of 0.999 and 0.998, respectively. The detective limits (3σ) for DA and AA were found to be 1.2×10^?6 M and 2.4×10^?6 M, respectively. The modified electrode shows good sensitivity, selectivity and stability, and has been applied to the determination of DA and AA simultaneously in samples with satisfactory results.     

Anodic Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Lead（Ⅱ） Using Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Novel Calix[4] arene

A new glassy carbon electrode modified with novel calix[4]‐arene derivative was prepared and then applied to the selective recognition of lead ion in aqueous media by cyclic and square wave voltammetry. A new anodic stripping peak at ? 0.92 V (vs. Ag/Ag⁺) in square wave voltammogram can be obtained by scanning the potential from ? 1.5 to ? 0.6 V, of which the peak current is proportional to the concentration of Pb²⁺. The modified electrode in 0.1 mol/L HNO₃ solution showed a linear voltammetric response in the range of 2.0 × 10–⁸–1.0 × 10–⁶ mol/L and a detection limit of 6.1 × 10–⁹ mol/L. In the modified glassy carbon electrode no significant interference occurred from alkali, alkaline and transition metal ions except Hg²⁺, Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions, which can be eliminated by the addition of KSCN. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine lead in aqueous samples.     

Silver Doped Poly(L‐valine) Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for the Simultaneous Determination of Uric Acid,Ascorbic Acid and Dopamine

In this paper, a silver doped poly(L ‐valine) (Ag‐PLV) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated through electrochemical immobilization and was used to electrochemically detect uric acid (UA), dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA) by linear sweep voltammetry. In pH 4.0 PBS, at a scan rate of 100 mV/s, the modified electrode gave three separated oxidation peaks at 591 mV, 399 mV and 161 mV for UA, DA and AA, respectively. The peak potential differences were 238 mV and 192 mV. The electrochemical behaviors of them at the modified electrode were explored in detail with cyclic voltammetry. Under the optimum conditions, the linear ranges were 3.0×10^?7 to 1.0×10^?5 M for UA, 5.0×10^?7 to 1.0×10^?5 M for DA and 1.0×10^?5 to 1.0×10^?3 M for AA, respectively. The method was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of UA, DA and AA in human urine samples.     

Selective Electrochemical Determination of Dopamine with Molecularly Imprinted Poly(Carbazole‐co‐Aniline) Electrode Decorated with Gold Nanoparticles

Dopamine (DA) is a significant neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, coexisting with uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA). UA and AA are easily oxidizable compounds having potentials close to that of DA for electrochemical analysis, resulting in overlapping voltammetric response. In this work, a novel molecularly imprinted (MI) electrochemical sensor was proposed for selective determination of DA (in the presence of up to 80‐fold excess of UA and AA), relying on gold nanoparticles (Au_nano)‐decorated glassy carbon (GC) electrode coated with poly(carbazole (Cz)‐co‐aniline (ANI)) copolymer film incorporating DA as template (DA imprinted‐GC/P(Cz‐co‐ANI)‐Au_nano electrode, DA‐MIP‐Au_nano electrode). The DA recognizing sensor electrode showed great electroactivity for analyte oxidation in 0.2 mol L^?1 pH 7 phosphate buffer. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) was performed within 10^?4–10^?5 mol L^?1 of DA, of which the oxidation peak potential was observed at 0.16 V. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 2.0×10^?6 and 6.7×10^?6 mol L^?1, respectively. Binary and ternary synthetic mixtures of DA‐UA, DA‐AA and DA‐UA‐AA yielded excellent recoveries for DA. Additionally, DA was quantitatively recovered from a real sample of bovine serum spiked with DA, and determined in concentrated dopamine injection solution. The developed SWV method was statistically validated against a literature potentiodynamic method using a caffeic acid modified‐GC electrode.     

Improved Voltammetric Response of L‐Tyrosine on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes‐Ionic Liquid Composite Coated Glassy Electrodes in the Presence of Cupric Ion

L ‐Tyrosine can exhibit a small anodic peak on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) coated glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). At pH 5.5 its peak potential is 0.70 V (vs. SCE). When an ionic liquid (i.e., 1‐octyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [omim][PF₆]) is introduced on the MWCNT coat, the peak becomes bigger. Furthermore, in the presence of Cu²⁺ ion the anodic peak of L ‐tyrosine increases further due to the formation of Cu²⁺‐L ‐tyrosine complex, while the peak potential keeps unchanged. Therefore, a sensitive voltammetry based on the oxidation of Cu²⁺‐L ‐tyrosine complex on MWCNTs‐[omim][PF₆] composite coated electrode is developed for L ‐tyrosine. Under the optimized conditions, the anodic peak current is linear to L ‐tyrosine concentration in the range of 1×10^?8–5×10^?6 M, and the detection limit is 8×10^?9 M. The modified electrode shows good reproducibility and stability. In addition, the voltammetric behavior of other amino acids is explored. It is found that among them tryptophan (Trp) and histidine (His) can also produce sensitive anodic peak under same experimental conditions, and their detection limits are 4×10^?9 M and 4×10^?6 M, respectively.     

Cu(II) Hexacyanoferrate(III) Modified Carbon Paste Electrode; Application for Electrocatalytic Detection of Nitrite

Copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) film‐modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) has been prepared from various electrolytic aqueous solutions using consecutive cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic voltammograms showed the direct deposition of CuHCF films from the mixing of Cu²⁺ and Fe(CN)₆^3? ions and each time with one of the six cations: H⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, NH₄⁺, Mg²⁺, and Al³⁺. The CuHCF film showed a single redox couple that exhibited a cation effect (Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, and NH₄⁺) and anion effect (Cl^?, NO₃^?, SO₄^2?, ClO₄^?, and BrO₃^?) in the cyclic voltammograms. Voltammetric studies have indicated that in presence of nitrite, the cathodic peak current of CuHCF increases, followed by a decrease in the corresponding anodic current. This indicated that nitrite was reduced by the redox mediator immobilized on the electrode surface via an electrocatalytic mechanism. The process of reduction and its kinetics were investigated by using cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, chronoamperometry and chronocoulometry techniques. The electrocatalytic ability about 800 mV can be seen. The rate constant of the catalytic reduction of nitrite was found to be 7.9×10⁵ cm³ mol^?1 s^?1. Linearity range obtained was 5×10^?5?8.4×10^?3 by cyclic voltammetry and 8×10^?6?1.3×10^?3 and 4×10^?3?2×10^?2 by differential pulse voltammetry.     

Detection of Uric Acid in the Presence of Dopamine and High Concentration of Ascorbic Acid Using PDDA Modified Graphite Electrode

The properties of graphite electrode (Gr) modified with poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA) for the detection of uric acid (UA) in the presence of dopamine (DA) and high concentration of ascorbic acid (AA) have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The polymer modified graphite electrode was prepared by a very simple method just by immersing the graphite electrode in PDDA solution for 20 minutes. The PDDA/Gr modified electrode displayed excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of UA, DA and AA compared to that at the bare graphite electrode. The electrochemical oxidation signals of UA, DA and AA are well resolved into three distinct peaks with peak potential separations of 220 mV, 168 mV and 387 mV between AA‐DA, DA‐UA and AA‐UA respectively in cyclic voltammetry studies and the corresponding peak potential separations are 230 mV, 130 mV and 354 mV respectively in differential pulse voltammetry. The lowest detection limits obtained for UA, DA and AA were 1×10^?7 M, 2×10^?7 M and 800×10^?9 M respectively. The PDDA/Gr electrode efficiently eliminated the interference of DA and a high concentration of AA in the determination of UA with good selectivity, sensitivity and reproducibility. The modified electrode was also successfully applied for simultaneous determination of UA, DA and AA in their ternary mixture.

A sensitive and selective electrochemical method for the determination of dopamine (DA) was developed using a 4‐(2‐Pyridylazo)‐Resorcinol (PAR) polymer film modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The PAR polymer film modified electrode shows excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of DA in a phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (pH 4.0). The linear range of 5.0×10^?6–3.0×10^?5 M and detection limit of 2.0×10^?7 M were observed. Simultaneous detection of AA, DA and UA has also been demonstrated on the modified electrode. This work provides a simple and easy approach to selective detection of DA in the presence of AA and UA.     

Catalytic Oxidation of Ascorbic Acid at a Polyhistidine Modified Electrode and Its Application to the Voltammetric Resolution of Ascorbic Acid and Dopamine

Abstract

A new polymer (polyhistidine) modified electrode has been fabricated and was applied to the catalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA), reducing the overpotential by 400 mV. The catalytic rate constant of the modified electrode for the oxidation of AA was determined using a rotating electrode. The catalytic current was linearly dependent on the ascorbic acid concentration between 5×10^?5 and 2×10^?3 M. The catalytic effect on the AA resulted in the separation of the overlapping voltammograms of AA and dopamine (DA) in a mixture. This allowed the determination of AA in the presence of DA. The electrode was rather stable even after several months; a reproducible response of AA was obtained.     

Chemometric Strategies to Develop a Nanocomposite Electrode for Simultaneous Determination of Ascorbic Acid,Dopamine, and Uric Acid

A simple and sensitive method for simultaneously measuring dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA), and uric acid (UA) using a poly(1‐aminoanthracene) and carbon nanotubes nanocomposite electrode is presented. The experimental parameters for composite film synthesis as well as the variables related to simultaneous determination of DA, AA, and UA were optimized at the same time using fractional factorial and Doehlert designs. The use of carbon nanotubes and poly(1‐aminoanthracene) in association with a cathodic pretreatment led to three well‐defined oxidation peaks at potentials around ?0.039, 0.180 and 0.351 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for AA, DA, and UA, respectively. Using differential pulse voltammetry, calibration curves for AA, DA, and UA were obtained over the range of 0.16–3.12×10^?3 mol L^?1, 3.54–136×10^?6 mol L^?1, and 0.76–2.92×10^?3 mol L^?1, with detection limits of 3.95×10^?5 mol L^?1, 2.90×10^?7 mol L^?1, and 4.22×10^?5 mol L^?1, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine DA, AA, and UA in biological samples with good results.     

Electrocatalytic Oxidation and Voltammetric Determination of Hydrazine in Industrial Boiler Feed Water Using a Cobalt Phthalocyanine-modified Electrode

Abstract

A carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt phthalocyanine (CPECoPc) was developed and applied to the determination of hydrazine [N₂H₄] in industrial boiler feed water. The CPECoPc exhibited good electrocatalytical activity for hydrazine oxidation at pH 13. A linear correlation was obtained between anodic peak current (I_ap) and hydrazine concentration in the range of 1.25 × 10^?4 to 9.80 × 10^?4 mol L^?1, fit by the equation I_ap = 1.47 + 4.90 × 10⁵ [N₂H₄] with a correlation coefficient of 0.9967. A detection limit of 7.35 × 10^?5 mol L^?1 was obtained. Recovery of hydrazine from three samples ranged between 99.0% and 102.9%. The modified electrode showed no interference by cations commonly present in boiler water, such as K⁺, Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Al³⁺, Pb²⁺, and Zn²⁺. The results obtained for hydrazine in boiler water using the proposed modified electrode are in agreement with the data obtained by a standard spectrophotometric method, at the 95% confidence level.     

Docosyltrimethylammonium chloride modified glassy carbon electrode for simultaneous determination of dopamine and ascorbic acid

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with docosyltrimethylammonium chloride (DCTMACl) is used for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA) using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique in 0.10 mol·L^?1 phosphate buffer solution of pH 5.0. The cationic surfactant DCTMACl modified film has a positive charge. DA exists as the positively charged species, whereas AA is the negatively charged one in the solution. Thus, at DCTMACl film-modified GCE, the oxidation peak potential of AA shifts toward less negative potential and the peak current of AA increases a little, while the oxidation peak potential of DA shifts toward more positive potential and peak current decreases greatly in comparison with that on bare electrode. The two anodic peaks are separated around 200 mV. Under optimal conditions, the catalytic peak currents obtained from DPV increase linearly with concentrations of DA and AA in the ranges of 1.0?×?10^?5 to 1.0?×?10^?3?mol·L^?1. This electrode has good reproducibility, high stability in its voltammetric response, and low detection limit (micromolar) for both AA and DA. The modified electrode has been applied to the determination of DA and AA in injection.

Magnetic nanoparticles of Fe₃O₄ approximately 5nm in size were synthesized and characterized by XRD and TEM. A novel gold electrode modified with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles was then constructed and was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The modified electrode exhibited strong promoting effect and high stability toward the electrochemical oxidation of dopamine (DA), which gave reversible redox peaks with a formal potential of 0.192 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) electrode in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution (PB). The anodic peak currents (measured by constant potential amperometry) increased linearly with the concentration of dopamine in the range of 1.5×10^?7 to 4.0×10^?4 M. The detection limit (S/N=3) obtained was 3.0×10^?8 M. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of 8 successive scans was 3.41% for 1.5×10^?6 M DA. The interference of ascorbic acid (AA) could be eliminated efficiently. The proposed method showed excellent sensitivity and recovery.     

A dual chemosensor for Cu2+ and Fe3+ based on π-extend tetrathiafulvalene derivative

A new dual chemosensor (TTF-PBA) for Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ in different signal pathways was designed and synthesized. The absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum and cyclic voltammograms changed in the presence of Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺. The optical color changed within 5 s from yellow to orange upon the addition of Cu²⁺, and it changed to dark yellow when Fe³⁺ existed. The cyclic voltammogram of Cu²⁺/TTF-PBA changed from E_ox = 0.50 V, E_red = 0.32 V to E_ox = 0.64 V, E_red = 0.80 V (vs Ag/AgCl) upon the addition of 2.0 equiv. Cu²⁺. As for Fe³⁺/TTF-PBA, its oxidation wave disappeared, and its reduction wave appeared at E_red = ?0.59 V (vs Ag/AgCl) upon the addition of 4.0 equv. Fe³⁺. The sensor displayed high selectivity for Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ over other ions including Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Ag⁺, Cr³⁺, Mn²⁺, Al³⁺, Co²⁺, Pd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Fe^2+, Cd²⁺, Ce³⁺, Bi³⁺ and Au³⁺, the detection limits for Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ion reached as low as 5.33 × 10^?7 mol/L and 5.34 × 10^?7 mol/L, respectively. Furthermore, when Fe³⁺ existed, Cu²⁺ can be detected sequentially by the sensor through the absorption spectrum and the color change observed by naked-eyes.     

Synthesis,structural characterization and molecular modelling of bidentate azo dye metal complexes: DNA interaction to antimicrobial and anticancer activities

A novel azo dye ligand, namely 1‐[(5‐mercapto‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐yl)diazenyl]naphthalen‐2‐ol (HL), was synthesized. Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and UO₂²⁺ complexes were also prepared by the treatment of HL with Mn(CH₃COO)₂?4H₂O, Co(CH₃COO)₂?4H₂O, Ni(CH₃COO)₂?4H₂O, Cu(CH₃COO)₂?H₂O, CuCl₂?2H₂O, Cu(NO₃)₂?6H₂O and UO₂(NO₃)₂?6H₂O. The structures of these metal chelates were confirmed using elemental, spectral, magnetic moment, molar conductance and thermal analyses. The analytical data confirmed the formation of the chelates in 1:1 (metal‐to‐ligand) ratio having the formula [ML(H₂O)X]Y?H₂O, where M is Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ or UO₂²⁺; X is Cl^?, NO₃^? or CH₃COO^?; and Y is H₂O. The azo compound acts in a monobasic bidentate manner via the nitrogen and oxygen atoms of azo and hydroxyl groups, respectively. All complexes were found to have tetrahedral structures, except the UO₂²⁺ complex that showed octahedral geometry. The mode of interaction between the synthesized complexes and calf thymus DNA was explored by the aid of absorption spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. The azo dye and its chelates were evaluated against the growth of various bacterial and fungal strains (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans) with insight gained into the effect of type of metal centre, type of coordinated anion and position of the metal in the periodic table on the activity of the complexes. The geometric structure of the complexes was optimized using molecular modelling. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was tested against HEPG2 cell line.     

Oxidation of melatonin on a glassy carbon electrode modified with metallic glucosamines. Synthesis and characterization

In this study, a glassy carbon electrode modified with different cobalt glucosamines (CoGlu-R), iron glucosamines (FeGlu-R), and nickel glucosamines (NiGlu-R) was used for the electroanalytical determination of melatonin in buffer solutions at pH 7.3 using cyclic and square wave voltammetry. The complexes were synthesized and characterized by IR-TF, ¹H-NMR, and UV–visible spectroscopy. When comparing glucosamines of different metals, the influence of the nature of the metal on the activity is not very strong. The most active complex was CoGlu-R. The oxidation peak was used to determine melatonin in the concentration range of 10^?8–10^?5 M with a detection limit of 2.15?×?10^?7 M (LOD). Our results indicate that the current peak is under mass-transport control and probably suggest that chemical reactions coupled with electrochemical steps are involved. The melatonin oxidation current with this kind of modified electrodes is small but this modified electrode shows high selectivity in medium-199 (glutamine, phenol red, glucose, Na⁺, CO₃ ^2?) with human placental tissue; trophoblast and endothelial cells (K⁺, Ca²⁺, traces of Cu²⁺ and Mg²⁺), yet the tryptophan causes interference.

A Selective Voltammetric Method for Detecting Dopamine at Quercetin Modified Electrode Incorporating Graphene

The development of a quercetin‐graphene composite‐modified glassy carbon electrode (Qu/GH/GCE) for the selective and sensitive detection of dopamine (DA) is described in this paper. To fabricate the Qu/GH/GCE, graphene (GH) was first coated onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and then quercetin (Qu) was electrodeposited on the GH matrix. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to characterize the morphology of the obtained GH and Qu/GH, and the electrochemical properties of the modified electrode were studied using electrochemical techniques. The as‐prepared Qu/GH/GCE occupied a synthetic property between GH and Qu. The common overlapped electrochemical oxidation peaks of DA and AA were completely separated and a remarkable increasing electron‐oxidation current of DA occurred on the Qu/GH/GCE, which enabled the sensitive and selective electrochemical detection of DA in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) with peak difference of ca. 452 mV between DA and AA. The peak current obtained at 0.174 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode, SCE) from differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) is linearly dependent on the DA concentration in the range from 3.0×10^?8 to 4.0×10^?4 mol/L with a detection limit of 1.0×10^?8 mol/L. Furthermore, the Qu/GH/GCE exhibits good reproducibility and stability, and has been used for the determination of DA in samples of rat’s striatum tissue with satisfactory results.
