Electrochemical oxidation of [V(IV)O(nta)(H2O)]- (H3nta nitrilotriacetic acid) was studied in aqueous solution by means of cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse polarography, and current sampled DC polarography on mercury as electrode material. In the pH-range under study (5.5-9.0) the corresponding V(V) complex is produced by one-electron oxidation of the parent V(IV) species. The oxidation product is stable within the time scale of cyclic voltammetry. The evaluation of the pH-dependence of the half-wave potentials leads to a pKa value for [V(IV)O(nta)(H2O)]- which is in a good agreement with previous determinations. The measured value for E1/2 is very close to the formal potential E0 calculated via the Nernst equation on the basis of known literature values for log Kox and log Kred, the complex stability constants for the oxidized and reduced form, respectively.

The electrochemical oxidation of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) on Pt electrode in alkaline electrolyte with the addition of thiourea has been studied by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and chronopotentiometry (CP). NaBH4 is readily to react with hydroxyl groups to release hydrogen through either direct oxidation or catalytic hydrolysis. The experimental results demonstrated that the addition of an appropriate amount of thiourea to the alkaline electrolyte resulted in the suppression of catalytic hydrolysis and diffusion of borohydride ions through the separation membrane.

Novel poly (selenophene-co-3-methylthiophene) was successfully achieved by directly electrochemical oxidation of the monomer mixtures of selenophene and 3-methylthiophene (3MeT) in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate. The effect of monomer concentration ratios on the copolymerization were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The structures of as-prepared copolymers were characterized by UV-vis and infrared spectroscopy. The conductivity and thermoelectric measurements revealed the incorporation of 3MeT into the polyselenophene (PSe) chain improved significantly the conductivity and thermoelectric property of PSe.

The oxidation mechanism of hematoxylin was studied in phosphate buffers and 0.1 M KCl by cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis spectroscopy under deaerated conditions. The redox potential of hematoxylin in buffered solution strongly depends on pH. A two electron oxidation is preceded by deprotonation. The homogeneous rate of deprotonation process of hematoxylin in 0.1 M phosphate buffer is kd = (2.5 ± 0.1) × 104 s–1. The cyclic voltammetry under unbuffered conditions shows the distribution of various dissociation forms of hematoxylin. The dissociation constants pK1 = 4.7 ± 0.2 and pK2 = 9.6 ± 0.1 were determined using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The final oxidation product was identified by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection as hemathein. The distribution of oxidation products differs under buffered and unbuffered conditions. The dye degradation in natural unbuffered environment yields hemathein and hydroxyhematoxylin, which is absent in buffered solution.

Electrochemical oxidation of tiron in the presence of H2O as a nucleophile in strongly acidic aqueous solutions was studied by cyclic voltammetry, controlled-voltage coulometry and spectrometric investigations. The mechanism of electrochemical reaction is confirmed by spectrophotometric tracing in various times of controlled-voltage coulometry. The voltammetric and spectrophotometric foundations indicate that a 1,4-Michael addition of H2O from its hydroxy moiety to the position 4 of electrochemically derived o-quinone is occurred. The electrochemical oxidation and reduction of tiron has been successfully accomplished by controlled-voltage coulometry in a redox flow-through type cell and the final electro-reduced product was characterized by spectrophotometric, 1H NMR and mass spectrometric methods. It is demonstrated that the electro-oxidation of tiron follows an ECE mechanism in acidic aqueous solutions, leading to formation of a new compound of para- benzoquinone derivative.
