A Non‐Enzymatic Hydrogen Peroxide Sensor Based on Ag/MnOOH Nanocomposites

A novel non‐enzymatic sensor based on Ag/MnOOH nanocomposites was developed for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). The H₂O₂ sensor was fabricated by immobilizing Ag/MnOOH nanocomposites on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The morphology and composition of the sensor surface were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy. The electrochemical investigation of the sensor indicates that it possesses an excellent electrocatalytic property for H₂O₂, and could detect H₂O₂ in a linear range from 5.0 µM to 12.8 mM with a detection limit of 1.5 µM at a signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3, a response time of 2 s and a sensitivity of 32.57 µA mM^?1 cm^?2. Additionally, the sensor exhibits good anti‐interference. The good analytical performance, low cost and straightforward preparation method made this novel electrode material promising for the development of effective non‐enzymatic H₂O₂ sensor.     

Experimental and Theoretical Charge Density Study on Di‐2‐pyrazylamine (Hdpza) Molecule in Crystal

Electron density distribution of Di‐2‐pyrazylamine ( Hdpza ) is studied both by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction method at 100K and theoretical calculation. Structural determination reveals that Hdpza molecules crystalize in a syn‐anti conformation with an intramolecular C? H?N hydrogen bond between two pyrazine rings and then gather together via two intermolecular N? H?N and C? H?N hydrogen interaction and π? π stacking interaction between pyrazine rings. Charge density analysis is made in terms of deformation density (Δπ), Laplacian distribution and topological analysis of total electron density based on multipole model and theoretical calculation. The agreement between experiment and theory is good. The topological properties at bond critical points of C? C and C? N bonds reveal a covalent bond character, and those of intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and π? π stacking interactions, reveal a closed‐shell interaction. The potential energy curve of Hdpza molecule shows that the syn‐anti conformation is the most stable one (global minima) than the other two of syn‐syn and anti‐anti conformations.     

Formal Total Synthesis of Stevastelins B and B3

The formal total synthesis of stevastelins B and B3 ( 2 and 4 , resp.) have been accomplished employing a highly enantiomerically controlled Lewis acid catalyzed non‐aldol approach to obtain the syn aldol product and temperature controlled hydroboration oxidation reaction to construct four consecutive stereogenic centers. The other key reactions include Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, macrolactonization, and macrolactamization towards building the core skeleton 2 and 4 .

UV cured transparent films including non‐aqueous conductive microgels

UV cured transparent films containing non‐aqueous conductive microgels coated with poly(aniline)/dodecyl benzenesulfonic acid(DBSA) were obtained. The conductive microgels were prepared by interface polymerization of aniline/DBSA in the presence of non‐aqueous polymeric microgels. The electrical conductivity and the particle size of the prepared conductive microgel were 0.5 S/cm and 58 nm, respectively. The prepared conductive microgels were easily blended with a UV curable coating formulation, and then were cured to make highly optically transparent films. For the UV cured film containing about 35 wt% of the conductive microgels, a surface resistance in the range of 10⁷ to 10⁸ Ω/square was obtained. In a polar cosolvent, such as NMP and m‐cresol, the critical volume was shifted to the lower range, with a value of 10 wt%. The UV cured films containing the conductive microgels exhibited good electrical stability against the thermal aging and humidity. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

‘One‐Touch’ Voltammetry of Microparticles for the Identification of Corrosion Products in Archaeological Lead

Voltammetry of microparticles is applied to the identification of lead corrosion products by means of an essentially non‐invasive ‘one‐touch’ technique based on the use of graphite pencil. This methodology permits the mechanical attachment of few nanograms of sample from the surface of lead archaeological artefacts to a paraffin‐impregnated graphite electrode, which, upon immersion in aqueous electrolytes, provides distinctive voltammetric responses for litharge and cotunnite‐ anglesite‐, cerusite‐based corrosion products. The reported method is applied to the identification of corrosion products in archaeological lead pieces from different Iberian sites in Valencia (Spain).

Biocompatible polymeric monoliths for protein and peptide separations

The concept of biocompatibility with reference to chromatographic stationary phases for separation of biomolecules (including proteins and peptides) is introduced. Biocompatible is a characteristic that indicates resistance to nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules and preservation of their structures and biochemical functions. Two types of biocompatible polymeric monoliths [i. e., polyacrylamide‐ and poly(meth)acrylate‐based monoliths] used for protein and peptide separations are reviewed in detail, with emphasis on size exclusion, ion exchange, and hydrophobic interaction chromatographic modes. Biocompatible monoliths for enzyme reactors are also included. The two main synthetic approaches to produce biocompatible monoliths are summarized, i. e., surface modification of a monolith that is not inherently biocompatible and direct copolymerization of hydrophilic monomers to form a biocompatible monolith directly. Integration of polyethylene glycol into the poly(meth)acrylate monolith network is becoming popular for reduction of non‐specific protein interactions.     

A Non‐Enzymatic Glucose Sensor Based on Ni/MnO2 Nanocomposite Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

A novel flower like 3D nickel/manganese dioxide (Ni/MnO₂) nanocomposite was synthesized by a kind of simple electrochemical method and the formation mechanism of flower like structure was also researched. In addition, morphology and composition of the nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Then the Ni/MnO₂ nanocomposites were applied to fabricate electrochemical non‐enzymatic glucose sensor. The electrochemical investigation for the sensor indicated that it possessed an excellent electrocatalytic property for glucose, and could applied to the quantification of glucose with a linear range from 2.5×10^?7 to 3.5×10^?3 M, a sensitivity of 1.04 mA mM^?1 cm^?2, and a detection limit of 1×10^?7 M (S/N=3). The proposed sensor also presented attractive features such as interference‐free, and long‐term stability. The present study provided a general platform for the one‐step synthesis of nanomaterials with novel structure and can be extended to other optical, electronic and magnetic nanocompounds.
