Potential Driven Deposition Of Poly(Diallyldimethylammonium Chloride) Onto The Surface Of 3-Mercaptopropionic Acid Monolayers Assembled On Gold, Wesley Sanders, Mark Anderson Nov 2008

Potential Driven Deposition Of Poly(Diallyldimethylammonium Chloride) Onto The Surface Of 3-Mercaptopropionic Acid Monolayers Assembled On Gold, Wesley Sanders, Mark Anderson

Mark R. Anderson

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements are used to examine the ability of applied potential to drive the ionic self-assembly of poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (PDDA) onto a substrate modified with a monolayer of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA). The potential of zero charge (PZC) of the gold electrode modified with a monolayer of 3-MPA was found by differential capacitance measurements to be −0.12 (±0.01) V versus Ag−AgCl. Changing the substrate potential to values positive (−0.01 V vs Ag−AgCl) of the PZC induces interfacial conditions that are favorable for the electrostatic deposition of cationic polymers onto the surface of 3-MPA …


Characterization Of Carboxylic Acid-Terminated Self-Assembled Monolayers By Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy And Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy, Wesley Sanders, Ricardo Vargas, Mark Anderson Jun 2008

Characterization Of Carboxylic Acid-Terminated Self-Assembled Monolayers By Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy And Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy, Wesley Sanders, Ricardo Vargas, Mark Anderson

Mark R. Anderson

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) are used to monitor changes in the ionization of monolayers of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid. When using an anionic redox probe, Fe(CN)6−4, the charge-transfer resistance of the 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid monolayer-modified interface increases in a sigmoidal fashion as the solution is made basic. The opposite effect is observed when using a cationic redox probe. The inflection points of these two titration curves, however, differ when using the different redox probes. This result is taken as being characteristic of the influence that applied potential has on the ionization of the monolayer. The role of substrate …


Simultaneous Determination Of Glucose And L‐Glutamate Using A Capillary Enzyme Reactor With Electrochemical Detection, Stephanie Hooper, Mark Anderson Apr 2008

Simultaneous Determination Of Glucose And L‐Glutamate Using A Capillary Enzyme Reactor With Electrochemical Detection, Stephanie Hooper, Mark Anderson

Mark R. Anderson

An electrophoresis capillary that incorporates two enzymes for the simultaneous determination of glucose and l-glutamate is described. The enzymes deposited along the separation capillary walls react with their respective substrate as they are separated during the electrophoresis to produce hydrogen peroxide that is detected by amperometry as the hydrogen peroxide zone emerges from the end of the capillary. Even though both enzyme reactions produce a common product, hydrogen peroxide, the hydrogen peroxide produced by each enzyme reaction stays in narrow zones that migrate the length of the capillary at different rates. The rate of migration for the individual H2O2 zones …


Selective Formation Of A Symmetric Sc3n@C78 Bisadduct:  Adduct Docking Controlled By An Internal Trimetallic Nitride Cluster, Ting Cai, Liaosa Xu, Chunying Shu, Hunter Champion, Jonathan Reid, Clemins Anklin, Mark Anderson, Harry Gibson, Harry Dorn Feb 2008

Selective Formation Of A Symmetric Sc3n@C78 Bisadduct:  Adduct Docking Controlled By An Internal Trimetallic Nitride Cluster, Ting Cai, Liaosa Xu, Chunying Shu, Hunter Champion, Jonathan Reid, Clemins Anklin, Mark Anderson, Harry Gibson, Harry Dorn

Mark R. Anderson

In this paper we report a regioselective Bingel−Hirsch reaction of Sc3N@C78 yielding a single mono- and a dominate bis-ethyl malonate derivative for the first time. The Cs-symmetric monoadduct 1 and C2v-symmetric bisadduct 2 were isolated by HPLC and characterized by MS, UV−vis, and NMR spectroscopy. The symmetric bisadduct 2 clearly demonstrate the remarkable regioselectivity control exerted by the encapsulated Sc3N cluster. We have employed a LUMO electron density surface computational approach to predict multiadduct docking sites on the ellipsoidal fullerene cage surface.


Application Of A Square‐Wave Potential Program For Time‐Dependent Amperometric Detection In Capillary Electrophoresis, Stephanie Hooper, David Roach, Mark Anderson Dec 2007

Application Of A Square‐Wave Potential Program For Time‐Dependent Amperometric Detection In Capillary Electrophoresis, Stephanie Hooper, David Roach, Mark Anderson

Mark R. Anderson

Use of a square-wave potential program for time-dependent amperometric detection of analyte zones in capillary electrophoresis (CE) is described. Electrochemical detection for CE requires that the separation field be isolated from that of the electrochemical detection. This is generally done by physically separating the CE separation field from that of the detection. By applying a time variant potential program to the detection electrode, the detector current has a time dependence that can be used to help isolate the electrochemical detection current from that of the separation. When using a 20 μm inner-diameter capillary, we find that a square-wave potential program …
