This paper describes the electrocatalytic behaviour of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with cobalt(II)phthalocyanine (CoPc) complex peripherally tetrasubstituted with cobalt(II)tetraphenylporphyrin (CoTPP) complexes via ether linkages (i.e., CoPc-(CoTPP)4). The features of the immobilised pentamer were interrogated with cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS...

The voltammetric behavior of prochlorperazine and ethopropazine at a decanethiol (DEC) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modified gold electrode (DEC/Au) has been studied. It was observed that prochlorperazine exhibited an anodic peak at about 0.60 V (vs SCE), while ethopropazine exhibited two anodic peaks at about 0.49 V and 0.58 V on DEC/Au in pH 10 sodium carbonate buffer. This was due to their...

Of the several factors which influence electrocatalytic activity, particle size and structural effects are of crucial importance, but their effects and mechanism of interaction, vis-a-vis overall performance, have been, at best, vaguely understood. The situation is further aggravated by the use of a wide range of experimental conditions resulting in non-comparable data. This paper attempts syst...

Electrochemical sensors consisting of electrodes loaded with carbon nanotubes and Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs) protected by dendrimers have been developed using a facile method to fabricate them on two types of disposable electrochemical printed chips with a screen-printed circular gold or a screen-printed circular glassy carbon working electrode. The electrochemical performance of these sensors in...

Using vo1tammetric technique with a rotating disk electrode, the anodic oxidation of carbazole in aqueous H2S04 ethanol mixtures was shown to proceed under diffusion and electron transfer control conditions. Electro-oxidation involves one electron transfer; electrode passivation occurs due to the formation of a poorly soluble product. By means of the SCF MO LCAO INDO, AMI-UHF and PM3-UHF method...

The electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid at a gold electrode functionalized with FePt nanoparticles was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a mixed solution of 0.1 M HCOOH and 0.1 M HClO4. The FePt bimetallic nanoparticles, with a mean diameter of 3 nm, were prepared by a chemical reduction method. The Au/FePt nanostructured electrode was ...

Interfacial reactions of cytochrome c3 at a graphite electrode were studied in a neutral medium by means of the differential pulse and cyclic voltammetry. It was found that ferricytochrome c3 yielded three cathodic peaks G, d i and Cm at potentials of —0.3 to —0.5 V (vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode) on the voltammograms. Upon anodic polarization this protein yielded two anodic peaks Ai and An a...

10-[40-(N-diethylamino)butyl]-2-chlorophenoxazine (DBCP) undergoes a reversible one-electron oxidation with cerium (IV) to form a pink coloured radical cation [DBCP‡ ] in the presence of stoichiometric amounts [DBCP: Ce(IV)ˆ 1:1] of the reactants. The radical cation underwent a second oneelectron oxidation to form a brownish yellow coloured dication [DBCP2‡] in the presence of more than one equ...
