The different redox-activity of dianthrylbenzene and dianthrylbiphenyl
1989
Abstract The reduction of dianthrylbenzene and dianthrylbiphenyl to stable tetraanion salts is described by NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The significantly different Coulomb interactions between the anthracene units are compared with those in dianthrylalkanes.
Electronic Interactions in a New π-Extended Tetrathiafulvalene Dimer
2006
The first pi-extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) dimer in which the two exTTF units are covalently connected by 1,3-dithiole rings has been obtained in a multistep synthetic procedure involving the Ullmann cross-coupling reaction by using copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC). The electronic spectrum reveals a significant electronic interaction between the exTTF units. The electrochemical study carried out by cyclic voltammetry in solution and in thin-layer conditions, and the electrochemical simulation and spectroelectrochemical (SEC) measurements confirm the electronic communication and show that the oxidation of dimer 14 occurs as two consecutive 2 e(-) processes D(0)-D(0)-->D(2+)-D(0…
Effect of high levels of CO 2 on the electrochemical behavior and the enzymatic and non‐enzymatic antioxidant systems in black and white table grapes…
2019
[Bakghround]: In this study, we analyzed the effect of the application of high levels of CO2 (20 kPa CO2 + 20 kPa O2 + 60 kPa N2 ) for 3 days at low temperature on a white table-grape cultivar (Superior Seedless) in comparison with a black one (cv. Autumn Royal) in terms of quality parameters. We also used a solid-state voltammetry methodology to analyze the effect of the 3-day gaseous treatment in berry tissues from both cultivars in the first stage of storage. We determined the role of the non-enzymatic (total phenols, total anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity) and the enzymatic antioxidant (catalase (GCAT), ascorbate peroxidase (VcAPX) gene expression) systems in the behaviors of bo…
Study on the sensitive and selective adsorption voltammetry of vanadium with antipyrylazo III (APA III)
1994
The sensitive and selective adsorption voltammetric determination of the vanadium(V)-antipyrylazoIII complex in HAc-NaAc solution is investigated. The V-complex is strongly adsorbed onto a stationary Hg-electrode and is reduced at a potential more negative than that corresponding to the reduction of its ligand. The conditions for determining vanadium are investigated and the mechanism of the reduction peak of the vanadium complex is discussed, as also the influence of foreign ions on the determination of vanadium. An at least 20-fold excess of foreign ions does not cause any interference. The detection limit is 4×10−10 mol/l V with 3 min enrichment time.
Insight into the Mechanism of Action of Marine Cytotoxic Thiazinoquinones
2017
The electrochemical response of four natural cytotoxic thiazinoquinones isolated from the Aplidium species was studied using conventional solution-phase and solid-state techniques, based on the voltammetry of immobilized particles methodology. The interaction with O-2 and electrochemically generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) was electrochemically monitored. At the same time, a molecular modeling study including density functional theory (DFT) calculations was performed in order to analyze the conformational and electronic properties of the natural thiazinoquinones, as well as those of their reduced intermediates. The obtained electrochemical and computational results were analyzed and c…
Voltammetric behavior of berenil.
1993
Abstract Berenil is reduced on mercury drops electrode in buffered aqueous media. The reduction of —N=N— group is controlled by diffusion. Polarographie waves are of analytical usefulness. The hydrogen discharge is favored by the basic centers of the molecule in Co(ll)/ammonia-buffered media.
Vis/NIR spectroelectrochemical analysis of poly-(Azure A) on ITO electrode
2006
Electrochromic behavior of poly-(Azure A) on indium–tin oxide electrode is analyzed in an aqueous potassium nitrate solution. The dependence of the absorbance on the applied potential during cyclic voltammograms proves very interesting at two selected characteristic wavelengths: at 925 nm, attributed to an intermediate species and another at 735 nm, attributed to the oxidized form of the polymer. Molar absorptivity coefficients for both species have been calculated from the relationship between current and the derivative of absorbance with respect to time. Voltammograms of formation of the intermediate are simulated from spectroelectrochemical results. Keywords: Poly-(Azure A), Spectroelect…
Calculation of the surface concentration of Zn(I) from the anodic voltammetric peak of zinc combined with the QCM results
2004
Deconvolution of voltammograms of anodic dissolution of zinc has proved to be possible through the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance data and the F(dm/dQ) function. This deconvolution allows to calculate the surface concentration of Zn(I) and to obtain an estimation for the kinetic constant of the second single-electron transfer. Keywords: Zinc anodic dissolution, EQCM, Surface concentration, Deconvolution and kinetic constant
The role of lithium, perchlorate and water during electrochemical processes in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) films in LiClO4 aqueous solutions
2021
Abstract Thin films of poly(3,4-ethylendioxythiophene) (PEDOT) were electrochemically deposited on gold electrodes in aqueous media. The role of perchlorate, lithium, and water during the charge/discharge of PEDOT films was investigated by cyclic voltammetry together with EQCM, vis − NIR spectroscopy, and acoustic impedance, also by means of ac-electrogravimetry in a 0.1 M LiCl O 4 aqueous solutions. In this way, it has been possible to correlate the electrical, mass, color and electromechanical properties changes during the electrochemical reactions of this polymer. Both, hydrated lithium cations and perchlorate anions can act as counterions during the electrochemical reactions, however, a…
A novel thermodynamic approach for the complexation study of toxic metal cations by a landfill leachate
2018
Landfill leachates can contaminate nearby aquifers. The hazards deriving from this contamination also depend on the chemical speciation of various contaminants. A novel approach is proposed here to face this problem from a chemical thermodynamics point of view. The complexing ability of the soluble fraction of a landfill leachate (collected from Bellolampo, Palermo, Italy) towards Pb2+, Cd2+ and Cu2+ has been investigated at T = 298.15 K in NaClaq at I = 0.1 mol dm−3. The soluble fraction of the landfill leachate was first characterized by different analytical techniques. Then, its acid–base properties were studied by ISE-H+ potentiometric titrations and modelled by the so-called diprotic-l…
