A nitrate-selective electrode based on a recently synthesized bis(2-hydroxyanil)acetylacetone lead(II) complex [(haacac)Pb] has been developed. Among different compositions studied, a membrane containing 30.7% poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), 61.3% dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as a plasticizer, 3% methyltrioctylammonium chloride (MTOAC) as a cationic additive and 5% ionophore (all w/w) exhibited the best...

A novel method for the sensitive and specific electrochemical analysis of DNA is described using Faradaic impedance spectroscopy. A thiol-thymine-tagged oligonucleotide (1) capable of forming only one doublestranded turn with the target DNA analyte (2) is assembled on a Au electrode and acts as the sensing interface. The resulting functionalized electrode is reacted with a complex between the t...

The first porous 3D [Ln-Fe] heterometal-organic frameworks incorporating high-spin Fe(ii) ions were structurally characterized with fascinating 1D channels and higher thermal stability: the robust frameworks still keep intact on removing free H(2)O or adsorbing C(2)H(5)OH, and the luminescence of [Eu-Fe] complex displays selective detection of Mg(2+).

The electrochemical and optical properties of films prepared from two different Fe(II) coordination polymers (TPT[Fe(II)TPT](n)(PF(6))(2)(n) (TPT = terpyridine-phenyl-terpyridine) and CTPCT[Fe(II)CTPCT](n)(PF(6))(2)(n) (CTPCT = chiral terpyridine-phenyl-chiral terpyridine)) and a coordination polymer based on Cu(I) metal centers (PDP[Cu(I)PDP](n)(BF(4))(n)) (PDP = phenanthroline-dodecane-phenan...

In this research, a PVC membrane electrode for Manganese (II) ions based on N-(2-Picolinamidoethyl)Picolinamide as neutral carrier was prepared. The electrode exhibits a Nemstian responseover Mn(II) concentration range of (1.0 x10-5 t01.0 X 10-1M) with a slope of 29.3±0.5 mV perdecade of concentration with a working pH range of 4.0-9.0. It has a fast response time (

Pseudocapacitance is commonly associated to the reversible redox reactions from electrode materials, but the enhancement in pseudocapacitance that only relies on electrode materials is limited. Here, we explore the possibility of enhancing pseudocapacitance through both Co(OH)₂/graphene nanosheets (GNS) electrode and K₃Fe(CN)₆ electrolyte. With a good conductivity and favoring electron transfer...

fluoride is recognized as an effective agent for dental caries prevention. generally, the main source of fluoride intake is drinking water. in this study, fluoride content in 18 commercial brands of bottled waters was investigated. six samples from each batch of 18 iranian commercial brands of bottled waters were supplied. the fluoride content of samples was analyzed by fluoride ion selective e...

2-amino-n-benzthioazolyl benzamide (abtb) was synthesized, characterized and used for thefabrication of a potentiometric sensor for cu2+ metal ions. the electrode exhibits linear response to cu(ii) over a wide concentration range (4.79×10 -8 – 1.85×10 -1 m) with nernstian slope of 30 ± 1.5 mvper decade. the electrode can be used in the ph range from 2 to 9. it has a fast response time of about1...

A selective electrochemical method for the determination of uric acid was developed by using nano poly cresol red modified glassy carbon electrode. This new material has been characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and Differential pulse voltammetry. This modified electrode shows excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of uric acid in the presence of ...

In the present study, a new chemically modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) is constructed for rapid, accurate, simple, highly sensitive, and selective determination of Mo (VI) using differential pulse voltammetry. The electrode was prepared using magnetic nickel zinc ferrite nanocomposite (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4), as the modifier in CPE (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4/CPE). Mo (VI) was determined after preconcentr...
