Electrodeposition of platinum from carbon dioxide based supercritical electrolyte

For the first time, the electrodeposition of platinum from a carbon dioxide-based supercritical electrolyte with the addition of acetonitrile as a co-solvent and tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate salt was studied. Dimethyl (1,5-cyclooctadiene) platinum is used as a precursor. It has been established that as a result of potentiostatic electrodeposition, not a continuous film is formed, but agglomerates of densely packed platinum nanoparticles.

Phosphorus-nitrogen compounds Part 17: The synthesis, spectral and electrochemical investigations of porphyrino-phosphazenes

The reactions of unsymmetrical porphyrins (1 and 2) with Ni(OAc)2·4H2O in boiling DMF produce porphyrin complexes (3 and 4). From the reactions of free porphyrin ligands 1 and 2 with hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene, N3P3Cl6 , the new free porphyrino-phosphazene derivatives (5 and 6) are obtained. On the other hand, the reactions of N3P3Cl6 with porphyrin complexes (3 and 4) afford the new porphyrino-phosphazene complexes (7 and 8). In the literature there are a few examples of the porphyrino-phosphazene architectures. The structural investigations of all the compounds have been made by elemental analyses, MS, FTIR, 1H NMR, 31P NMR and UV-visible techniques. The cyclic voltammograms (CVs) are examined in acetonitrile (MeCN) containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium-tetrafluoroborate (TBATFB) to investigate the surface attachment properties at the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and the influence of the presence of metal cations in the porphyrin ring.

Synthesis, Characterizations and Investigation of Electrochemical Behaviours of 4-[(2-Hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]benzene-1,3-diol

This Schiff base ligand, 4-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino) methyl]benzene-1,3-diol (HIBD) was synthesized by reaction of 2-aminophenol and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. The ligand was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and1H-NMR. Electrochemical behaviors were investigated on the glassy carbon electrode (GC) surface with cyclic voltammetry (CV). The modification of HIBD on the GC was performed in +0.3 V and +2,8 V potential range using 100 mV s-1scanning rate having 5 cycle. For the characterization of the modified surfaces 1 mM ferrocene redox probe in 0,1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBATFB) and 1 mM ferricyanide redox probe in 0.1 M H2SO4were used.

Investigation of Electrochemical Behaviour of Quercetin on the Modified Electrode Surfaces with Procaine and Aminophenyl in Non-Aquous Medium

In this study, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical ımpedance spectroscopy have been used to investigate the electrochemical behaviour of quercetin (3,3′,4′,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) on the procaine and aminophenyl modified electrode. The modification of procaine and aminophenyl binded electrode surface with quercetin was performed in +0,3/+2,8 V (for procaine) and +0,4/+1,5 V (for aminophenyl) potential range using 100 mV s-1scanning rate having 10 cycle. A solution of 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate in acetonitrile was used as a non-aquous solvent. For the modification process a solution of 1 mM quercetin in 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate was used. In order to obtain these two surface, a solution of 1 mM procaine and 1 mM nitrophenyl diazonium salt in 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate was used. By using these solutions bare glassy carbon electrode surface was modified. Nitrophenyl was reduced to amine group in 0.1 M HCl medium on the nitrophenyl modified glassy carbon elelctrode surface. Procaine modified glassy carbon electrode surface was quite electroactive. Although nitrophenyl modified glassy carbon elelctrode surface was electroinactive, it was activated by reducing nitro group into amine group. For the characterization of the modified surface 1 mM ferrocene in 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate for cyclic voltammetry and 1 mM ferricyanide/ferrocyanide (1:1) mixture in 0,1 M KCl for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used.

Molecular Motion in Solid Tetrabutylammonium Tetrafluoroborate

Proton and fluorine NMR second moments and spin-lattice relaxation times for polycrystalline tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate have been measured over a wide range of temperatures at several Larmor frequencies. An analysis of cross-relaxation effects results in a determination of activation parameters for anion and cation reorientations. Three solid phases characterized by different ion dynamics are evidence
