Two new rhodamine based probes 1 and 2 for the detection of Fe(3+) were synthesized and their selectivity towards Fe(3+) ions in the presence of other competitive metal ions tested. The probe 1 formed a coloured complex with Fe(3+) as well as Cu(2+) ions and revealed the lack of adequate number of coordination sites for selective complexation with Fe(3+). Incorporation of a triazole unit to the...

The potentiometric response characteristics and analytical applications of a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)-free all-solid-state ion-selective electrode for chlorhexidine (CHX) are examined and compared to those of PVC-based solid-state electrode. The PVCfree electrode is prepared by direct incorporation of chlorhexidine-tetraphenyl borate (CHXTPB) as a sensing element into a commercial nail varnis...

A new selectophore was introduced for Cu2+ ions. Spectroscopic studies showed a selectivity of a new organic compound (L) toward copper ions and several transitional metal ions. Hence, L was utilized in designing several ion selective electrodes for these cations. In practice, Cu2+ ion selective electrode behaved Nernstian (slope of 27.95±0.3 mV decade-1) over a...

Pressure, Electrode Potential, Reaction Volumes Pressure dependence of the electrode potentials for various M3+/2+ couples (M = Fe, Co, and Ni with o-phenanthroline, bipyridine, terpyridine, 1,4,7-triazacyclononane, and 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane) was measured by cyclic voltammetry in aqueous solution vs. a Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The reaction volume of the Ag/AgCl reference electrode was es...

The response mechanism of the iron(III) chalcogenide glass membrane ion-selective electrode (ISE) in saline media has been studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). EIS equivalent circuits and XPS surface compositions for the FeIII ISE are consistent with the presence of two surface films probably comprising a outer surface layer (OSL...

Tyrosine sulfation is a common modification of many proteins, and the ability to phosphorylate tyrosine residues is an intrinsic property of many growth-factor receptors. In the present study, we have utilized the peptide hormone CCK(8) (cholecystokinin), which occurs naturally in both sulfated and unsulfated forms, as a model to investigate the effect of tyrosine modification on metal-ion bind...

A sensitive and selective differential pulse stripping voltammetric (DPSV) method is presented for the determination of trace amount Cr(III) using glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The method includes AuNPs fabrication and self-assembly GCE modification. This processes replaced the –H groups with –NH2 groups on the surfaces of GCE which increased the number...

In this work, the results concerning to the mean activity coefficient measurements for NaCl in the (glycerol + water) system using the potentiometric method are reported. The potentiometric measurements were performed on the galvanic cells without liquid junction of the type: Ag|AgCl|NaCl (m), glycerol (wt%), H2O (1 - wt)%|Na-ISE, in various mixed solvent systems containing 0, 5, 10,...

Multifunctional porous CeO 2 –Fe O 3 /C for supercapacitor electrode materials and organic dye acid orange II adsorption obtained by hydrothermal N atmosphere pyrolysis of Ce–Fe coordination polymers formed from Ce 1,1′-dipentadecadienoic acid.

Fe(II)-oxidizing aerobic bacteria are poorly understood, due in part to the difficulties involved in laboratory cultivation. Specific challenges include (i) providing a steady supply of electrons as Fe(II) while (ii) managing rapid formation of insoluble Fe(III) oxide precipitates and (iii) maintaining oxygen concentrations in the micromolar range to minimize abiotic Fe(II) oxidation. Electroch...
