Electrochemical Analysis of Catalytic and Oxygen Interfacial Transfer Effects on MnO2 Deposited on Gold Electrodes
2018
[EN] A theoretical model for obtaining thermochemical and kinetic information on oxygen interfacial transfer in metal oxides deposited on gold electrodes, based in the voltammetry of immobilized particle methodology, is presented. It is applied to MnO2 microparticulate deposits on gold in contact with aqueous NaOH solution using the voltammetric signals for the oxidation of gold to gold oxide monolayer and its subsequent desorptive reduction. Assuming reversibility, voltammetric peak potentials permit to estimate a variation of Gibbs free energy of interfacial oxygen transfer of -32 +/- 3 kj mol(-1). Analysis of peak current data based on the Sharp-Hancock formalism of solid-state kinetics …
Luminescent supramolecular heterometallic macrocycles and their encapsulation on cholate gels
2018
The metal complex formed by coordination of Zn(II) to 1,7-bis(4-methylpyridine)-4-(2- naphthylmethyl)-1,4,7-triazaheptane (ZnL2+) was reacted in aqueous solution with [Pd(NO3)2(en)] and [Pt(NO3)2(en)] salts to form the self-assembled heterometallic macrocycles [Zn2L2Pd2(en)2]8+ and [Zn2L2Pt2(en)2]8+, respectively. Pd(II) and Pt(II)- coordination modulates the original emission of ZnL2+ arising from the presence of the naphthalene chromophore and the formation of the macrocycles can be monitored due to the PET process occurring with coordination of Pd(II) and Pt(II) to the pyridine units of ZnL2+. Additionally, several studies reveal that these heteromacrocycles can be encapsulated in Zn(II)…
