The synthesis of tetrakis(tetrathiafulvalene)-annulated metal-free and metallophthalocyanines 5-8 via the tetramerization of the phthalonitrile derivative 4 is reported. All of them have been fully characterized by electronic absorption spectroscopy, thin-layer cyclic voltammetry, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Their solution electrochemical data show two reversible four-electron ox...

Electrode potential measurements have been applied to study electrical characteristics like transport numbers, permselectivity & fixed charge density of ion-exchange membranes. Membrane potential measurements were made across zirconium phosphotungstate cation-exchange membrane maintained at 27◦C, using halide salts of alkali & alkaline earth metals as electrolytes. The effect of concentration o...

ABSTRACT In this work, the synthesis of various thiol-functionalized anthraquinone compounds is presented. The studied compounds were characterized by mass spectrometry and the main fragmentation pathways are discussed. The compounds studied formed stable self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in the gold surface. The parameters for the reduction processes in the gold surface of the studied new anthr...

in this paper, the effect of penicillin g drug as a green corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0 mhydrochloric acid solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the inhibition efficiencywas found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. potentiodynamic polarizationmeasureme...

Herein, we extend our "combined electrochemical-frustrated Lewis pair" approach to include Pt electrode surfaces for the first time. We found that the voltammetric response of an electrochemical-frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) system involving the B(C6 F5 )3 /[HB(C6 F5 )3 ]- redox couple exhibits a strong surface electrocatalytic effect at Pt electrodes. Using a combination of kinetic competition s...

This review addresses recent developments in electrochemistry and electroanalytical chemistry of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs have been proved to possess unique electronic, chemical and structural features that make them very attractive for electrochemical studies and electrochemical applications. For example, the structural and electronic properties of the CNTs endow them with distinct electr...

Six new complexes of the type trans-[LCo((DO)(DOH)pn)L'] where (DO)(DOH)pn= N2, N2'-propanediolbis (2,3-butanedione 2-imine 3-oxime), L-Cl¯ and L'=mono-anaion of phenylcyanamide (pcyd), 2,5-dichlorophenylcyanamide (2,5-Cl2 pcyd), 2,4-dimethyl pehylcyanamide (2,4-Me2 pcyd) and L=L'=pcyd, 2,5-Cl2 pcyd, 2,4-Me2 pcyd, have been s...

The mononuclear Gd(III) complex, [Gd(L)3(H2O)5] (where L is alizarin yellow R (NaC13H8N3O5)), has been prepared in H2O under reflux condition. The Gd(III) complex has been characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods (UV–Vis and FT–IR). The Gd2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by the calcination of the Gd(III) complex in air at different temperatures up to 600 °C for 2 h. The calc...

Previous studies have demonstrated that the wear-corrosion synergism can be markedly affected by the loading speed. In this study, effects of the loading speed or strain rate on corrosion and corrosive wear of annealed, impact-fractured and slow bending-fractured surface layers of AISI 1045 steel in a 3.5% NaCl solution were investigated using electrochemical, scanning Kelvin probing and electr...

The present work reports electrochemical synthesis of MgB6 from molten salts using the precursor consists of LiF-B2O3-MgCl2. An attempt has been made to synthesize metastable phase MgB6 crystal by electrolysis method. DTA/TGA studies were made to determine the eutectic point of the melt and it was found to be around 900°C. The electrolysis was performed at 900°C under argon atmosphere, at curre...
