Flow-through voltammetry (FTV) with the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE)
1995
A flow-through cell with integrated hanging mercury drop electrode for voltammetric, inverse voltammetric, adsorptive voltammetric, and chronoamperometric methods is described. HMDE droplets are automatically formed and renewed. By optimizing the flow-channel the sensitivity could be increased approximately five times in comparison with batch methods using the same deposition conditions.
Solvent-Independent Electrode Potentials of Solids Undergoing Insertion Electrochemical Reactions: Part I. Theory
2012
A formally solvent-independent redox system can be theoretically defined using the Lovric and Scholz modeling of the voltammetry of microparticles for ion-insertion solids. The proposed theory is based on the extra-thermodynamic assumptions that no net charge accumulates at the solid|electrolyte interface and the assumption that the structure of the solid and the ion binding remain unaffected by the solvent. Under voltammetric conditions, the corresponding redox potential can be estimated from voltammetric and chronoamperometric data assuming electrochemical reversibility and diffusive charge transport in the solution and solid phases, also taking into account ion partition (electrolyte/sol…
Electrochemistry nanometric patterning of MOF particles: Anisotropic metal electrodeposition in Cu/MOF
2006
Abstract Electrodeposition of copper from Cu/MOF immersed into acetate buffer produces a quasi-periodic series of 10–20 nm sized laminae sandwiched within the pristine MOF lattice as monitored by voltammetry of microparticles/atomic force microscopy. This anisotropic patterning can be qualitatively described in terms of a highly orientation-dependent diffusion of electrons and charge-balancing electrolyte counterions in the MOF network.
Electrosynthesis of Poly(alanine)-Like Peptides in Concentrated Alanine Based Electrolytes, Characterization Coupled to DFT Study and Application to …
2014
The anodic oxidation of concentrated l-alanine on smooth electrodes such as platinum and glassy carbon electrodes was studied. Contrary to the previous studies performed up to now with diluted l-alanine, the electrochemical process generated here results in a completely different situation. The oxidation on smooth platinum was carried out by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) coupled to cyclic voltammetry technique. The effects of concentration, scan rate, and pH (zwitterion at pH = 6 and alkaline media at pH = 13) on potential values were examined. Glassy carbon and smooth gold electrodes showed the same behavior as on smooth platinum electrode. Spectroscopic analysis such …
3D-transition metal mono-substituted Keggin polyoxotungstate with an antenna molecule: synthesis, structure and characterization
2008
Three new organic-inorganic hybrid complexes based on 3d-transition metal monosubstituted Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) with imidazole (Im) as pendant ligands, formulated as (HIm)(6-)[SiW11O39NiIm]0.8[SiW11O39Ni(H2O)]0.2.7H2O (1), (Im)4Na6[SiW11O39MnIm]0.69[SiW11O39Mn(H2O)]0.31.7.5H2O (2) and (HIm)6[SiW11O39CoIm]0.63[SiW11O39Co(H2O)]0.37.7H2O (3), have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, elemental analysis, TG analysis, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic properties, EPR and single-crystal/powder X-ray diffraction. The structural analyses indicate that the 3d metal atoms are incorporated into the vacancy of the alpha-[SiW11O39](8-) (SiW11). Complexes 1-…
Electrochemistry of copper complexes with polyaza[n]paracyclophanes. Influence of ATP as an exogen ligand on the relative stability of the Cu(II) and…
2000
Abstract Interaction of Cu 2+ with the macrocycle 2,6,9,13-tetraaza[14]paracyclophane (L) and ATP has been followed by pH-metric titration, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Mixed adduct species with various degrees of protonation were found to be stable for pH>4. In neutral and alkaline media reduction of mixed complexes occurs in a two-electron quasi-reversible step in contrast with binary Cu 2+ L complexes which display two successive one-electron couples. The potentiometric and voltammetric data suggest that in ternary adducts ATP binds to Cu 2+ ions through the phosphate chain and one N-site of the adenine ring system.
An Iron-Based Molecular Redox Switch as a Model for Iron Release from Enterobactin via the Salicylate Binding Mode
2001
The iron release mechanism from protonated ferric enterobactin [Fe(III)(enterobactinH(3))] via the salicylate binding mode was probed. For this purpose, a tripodal dodecadentate ligand incorporating three salicylamide (OO) and three bipyridine (NN) binding sites was synthesized as well as iron complexes thereof. It was shown that a ferric ion coordinates selectively to the hard salicylamides and a ferrous ion binds to the softer bipyridines. Upon reduction or oxidation, the iron translocates reversibly and intramolecularly from one site to the other, thus displaying switchlike properties. Both states were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and visible and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Mössba…
Electrochemical Detection of High Oxidation States of Chromium( IV and V ) in Chromium‐Doped Cassiterite and Tin‐Sphene Ceramic Pigmenting Systems
2006
Solid-state electrochemistry is applied to detect the presence of chromium centres with high oxidation states in chromium-doped cassiterite and tin-sphene ceramic pigmenting systems. Voltammetric data indicate that CrV and CrIV centres with different coordinative arrangements exist in the studied materials, and yield proton-assisted reduction processes at +0.95, +0.42 AgCl/Ag in contact with 0.50 M H2SO4. Electrochemical measurements are correlated with spectroscopic data. The CrIV and CrV metal ions display a significant light-driven electrocatalytic effect on the oxidation of 1,4-dihydrobenzoquinone and Fe(CN)64– ions that involves the formation of surface-confined adducts.

Recent Approaches for Chemical Speciation and Analysis by Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Mass Spectrometry
2021
In these latest years, the chemical speciation of several species has been increasingly monitored and investigated by means of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ES-MS). This soft ionization technique is capable to gently take into the gas phase metal-ligand complexes and gather a wealth of information on their energetics, shape, and fragmentation pathways. For this reason, this technique is frequently chosen in a synergistic approach to investigate competitive ligand exchange-adsorptive other ways analyzed by cathodic stripping voltammetry (CLE-ACSV). ESI-MS analyses require a careful experimental design as they may be impacted by instrumental artifacts such as ESI adduct formation…
"Sweet Chemistry": a Green Way for Obtaining Selenium Nanoparticles Active against Cancer Cells
2017
We present an environment friendly synthesis of selenium nanoparticles and the study of their cytotoxic activity against uterine sarcoma cancer and fibroblasts cells. Amorphous selenium (a-SeNPs) and trigonal selenium (t-SeNPs) were synthesized using D-fructose as the reducing agent and characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), powder X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES), dynamic light scattering (DLS) to obtain zeta potential values and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Particularly, a-SeNPs presented high toxicity toward the resistant cancer cell line MES-SA/…
