A highly sensitive method was investigated for the simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), and tryptophan (TRP) using a multiwall carbon nanotubes/5-amino-3',4'-dimethoxy-biphenyl-2-ol modified carbon paste electrode (5ADMBCNPE). The 5ADMBCNPE displayed excellent electrochemical catalytic activities towards the oxidation of DA, UA, and TRP. The electrochemical profile of the proposed modified electrode was analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), which showed a shift in the oxidation peak potential of DA at 160 mV to a less positive value compared with an unmodified carbon paste electrode. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.0 was performed …

A Simple And Rapid Spectrophotometric Determination Of Trace Level Simple And Rapid Spectrophotometric Determination Of Trace Level Chromium Using Bis (Salicylaldehyde) Orthophenylenediamine In Nonionic Micellar Media, Rubina Soomro, Jamaluddin Ahmed, Najma Memon

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Bis(salicylaldehyde)orthophenylenediamine (BSOPD) has been proposed as new analytical reagent for the direct spectrophotometric determination of chromium. It reacts with chromium(VI) in slightly acidic (0.1 -- 0.3 M H_2SO_4) micellar medium to form a yellow - orange chelate with a molar ratio 2:3. The most remarkable point of this method is that the molar absorptivities of the Cr^{VI} -- BSOPD complex formed in the presence of nonionic TritonX -- 100 surfactant are almost 10 times higher than the value observed in aqueous solution. This results in enhancing the sensitivity and selectivity of the method. The reaction is instantaneous and the maximum …

Reaction Dynamics Of Br + Hd: Quantum Wave Packet On Three Potential Energy Surfaces, Qing Song, Wei-Long Quan, Tian-Jun Feng

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The initial state-resolved reaction probabilities, reaction cross-sections, and rate constants of the reaction Br + HD are computed on 3 potential energy surfaces (denoted as e-LEPS, MB2, and MB3, respectively) by carrying out quantum time-dependent wave packet calculations. The results show that the reactivity of Br + HD on MB3 is much stronger than that on e-LEPS and somewhat weaker than that on MB2. Both of the vibrational and the rotational excitation of reagent HD enhance the reaction, which depends on the PESs and the strongest enhancement effects are on e-LEPS.

Three new racemic vesamicol analogs were successfully prepared in good yields and high purity. All compounds were characterized by both IR and NMR spectroscopy. Compounds (\pm)-5 and (\pm)-6 showed a moderate lipophilicity compared with reference compounds IBVM and DRC140, respectively. However, the lipophilicity of DRC140 and (\pm)-9 showed very similar behaviors.

Results for passive film formation and breakdown on copper disk electrodes in buffer solutions, pH 9.2 and 8.5, were reported earlier. The present studies were carried out in a buffer solution, pH 8.0, and together these studies make good material for understanding the effect of pH changes on film texture as a function of potential. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to examine passive film and the variations it went through upon being treated potentiostatically in the range of -0.3 to 0.9 V. On the basis of equivalent circuits used for modeling impedance data in this …
