Study of the EC’ Mechanism by Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) experiments were undertaken to study the EC’mechanism, e.g. where a product of the electrode reaction reacts to regenerate the starting material. Digital simulations of the two dimensional SECM were carried out and the results tested with the known EC’ system of Fe(CN)6 / cysteine for validation. The results were then used in SECM experiments with Ru(phen)2dppz, a known DNA intercalator, to study the instability of the oxidized form in the absence and presence of DNA.

Electrochemical studies of guanosine in DMF and detection of its radical cation in a scanning electrochemical microscopy nanogap experiment.
This communication reports the findings of the investigation of the electrochemical (EC) oxidation of the important bimolecular guanosine (Gs) by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) using carbon fiber ultramicroelectrodes (CF-UMEs) as the probe and substrate. The first attempt is to try to gain a steady-state voltammogram for EC oxidation of Gs at the CF-UME probe in aqueous buffer solut...

The reduction of the rhenium aryldiazenido complex [Cp*Re(CO)z(P-N2C&OMe)][BFJ results in the formation of the corresponding metal-bound dinitrogen complex Cp*Re(C0)2(N2). The mechanism of this transformation has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry (0, controlled-potentia1 electrolysis (CPE), and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The SECM analysis supported an electrochemical E& m...
متن کاملIn Situ Detection of the Adsorbed Fe(II) Intermediate and the Mechanism of Magnetite Electrodeposition by Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy.
Electrodeposition is an important approach that can produce functional compound materials by assembling multiple species at the electrode surface. However, a fundamental understanding of the electrodeposition mechanism has been limited by its complexity and is often gained only through ex situ studies of deposited materials. Here we report on the application of scanning electrochemical microsco...

A technique that combines scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and scanning optical microscopy (OM) was developed. Simultaneous scanning electrochemical/optical microscopy (SECM/OM) was performed by a special probe tip, which consists of an optical fiber core for light passage, surrounded by a gold ring electrode, and an outermost electrophoretic insulating sheath, with the tip attached t...
