Novel ECPs (electronic conducting polymers) based on amino β-styryl-substituted terthiophene (AST) were synthetized by direct electropolymerization. The ECPs were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, square-wave voltammetry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The poly(amino β-styryl terthiophene) displayed cyclic and square-wave voltammograms with redox peaks that can be assigned to the aminophenyl moiety and the polyterthiophene backbone. The presence of free primary amine groups on the ECP film permitted further biological functionalization (i.e., covalent bonding of various bioreceptors on its surface). The electrochemical performance of Biotin grafted at the AST modified glassy carbon electrode was investigated to detect the Avidin protein in solution by cyclic voltammetry and square-wave voltammetry.Key words: electronic conducting polymer, electrode surface modification, biosensor, β-styryl-substitued terthiophene, functionalization, cyclic, square-wave voltammetry.

A convenient synthesis of 1,2-dicyanoferrocene (3) was developed by using 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene as a dehydrating agent for the treatment of 1,2-ferrocenedicarbaldehyde dioxime (2) to give 3 in yields exceeding 80%. Compounds 2 and 3 have been characterized by IR and NMR (1H, 13C{1H}) spectroscopy and by electrochemistry (cyclic voltammetry and square-wave voltammetry). Furthermore, the molecular structures of 2 and 3 in the solid state have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies.

A nickel oxide doped polyaniline nanofibers (PANI-NiO) based electrochemical sensor was constructed for detection of phenanthrene. Successful synthesis of PANI-NiO nanocomposite was confirmed with techniques such as SEM, XRD, EDX, FTIR, and UV-visible spectroscopy. The electrocatalytic oxidation of phenanthrene on PANI-NiO on modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE-PANI-NiO) was studied using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, and impedance spectroscopy and discussed. Results showed that detection of phenanthrene was enhanced by the nanostructure of PANI-NiO film. The square wave voltammetry analysis shows a very low detection limit of 0.732 pM for phenanthrene with the linear range of 7.6 pM–1.4 × 10−11 M. The Tafel value of 227 mVdec−1suggests adsorption of phenanthrene oxidation intermediates on the GCE-PANI-NiO electrode. The GCE-PANI-NiO modified electrodes gave better performance towards phenanthrene in terms of current response, oxidation potential, current recovery, stability, and resistance to electrode fouling effects.

This study focuses on the compatibility of square wave voltammetry technique with new modified graphite pencil electrode to quantify Oxytocin. Ni-Nano particles and 1,5-diphenylcarbazide modifiers were quickly electro-deposited by cyclic voltammetry sweeping technique on the bare surface of a graphite pencil electrode. The electrochemical and morphological assessments were accomplished with cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The proposed electrochemical sensor revealed a good electro catalytic response to Oxytocin concerning the parameters α = 0.42, log Ks =3.44 and Γ = 8.72×10−10 in the optimized pH of 4 and the working potential of about 0.35 V. The new sensor also exhibited a linear response to Oxytocin over the concentration range of 125 to 350 nmolL−1 with the limit of detection of 41.53 nmolL−1. Moreover, the applicability of the proposed sensor was successfully examined and it became usable to determine Oxytocin accurately and precisely in real samples such as human blood serum sample without any serious side interference.

In order to a better characterization of a graphite-polyurethane composite intended to be used as a voltammetric sensor, the performance in a square wave voltammetric procedure was investigated. Using hydroquinone (HQ) as a probe, the electrode showed to be useful in square wave voltammetry with limit of detection of 0.28 µmol L-1, with recoveries between 99.1 and 101.5%. The results of the proposed method agreed with HPLC ones within 95% confidence level.
