[reaction: see text] Electrooptical sensors consisting of a conjugated chromophore undergoing a change in color and a redox-active moiety such as quinone fused to the chromophore were synthesized. Strong changes in colorimetric and electrochemical properties were observed in the presence of inorganic anions. A unique anion-specific response was observed for fluoride, pyrophosphate, and acetate....

Studies of the electropolishing of copper are reviewed. Recent work intended to demonstrate the electrochemical planarization of the overburden in electroplated copper interconnect metallization is emphasized. Furthermore, two common reaction mechanisms invoked to explain the mass-transfer limitation required to achieve electropolishing are outlined and discussed within the context of anodic le...

Platinum dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) were prepared within fourth-generation, hydroxyl-terminated, poly(amidoamine) dendrimers and immobilized on glassy carbon electrodes using an electrochemical coupling strategy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and electrochemical experiments confirmed that the Pt DENs were about 1.4 nm in diameter and that they remained ...

Morphology and size of platinum nanoparticles are a crucial factor in improving their catalytic activity and stability. Here, we firstly report the synthesis of high loading Pt nanoparticles on polydopamine reduced Graphene. The loading concentration of Pt (nanoparticles) NPs on Graphene can be adjusted in the range of 60-70%.With the insertion of polydopamine between Graphene oxide sheets, sta...

Background: High concentration of salt makes biological treatment impossible due to bacterial plasmolysis. The present research studies the process of electrochemical oxidation efficiency and optimal levels as important factors affecting pH, salt concentration, reaction time and applied voltage. Methods: The sample included graphite electrodes with specifications of 2.5 cm diameter and 15 cm he...

aims: the effect of electrochemical process on polyphosphate alone has not been yet investigated. the aim of this study was to study polyphosphate removal from synthetic wastewater by electrochemical process.  materials & methods: this research was carried out experimentally on 50 samples of synthetic wastewater. in each run 2000ml of sw took place in a batch. a constant 600ma direct current wa...

We report on a discovery of fast cathode materials, ternary Chevrel phases (CPs), CuyMo6S8, for rechargeable magnesium batteries; the related electrochemical process displays a unique coupling between reversible Mg insertion, and Cu extrusion/ reinsertion; this coupling results in an entirely new intercalation mechanism which combines the total chemical reversibility of the electrochemical reac...

This paper reports syntheses, crystal structures and electrochemical results for two ferrocene(Fc)-modified pyrimidine nucleosides that could potentially be used for investigating electron transfer in DNA. Fc was directly attached to the 5-position of deoxyuridine and deoxycytidine via the Stille coupling reaction. Fc-modified uridine was incorporated into DNA trinucleotides with standard solid...

5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is currently prepared by electrochemical reduction of 5-nitrosalicylic acid (5-NSA) in acidic media. In this work, electrolytic reduction of 5-NSA in alkaline media is presented. Reactionconditions and parameters such as anode and cathode electrodes, electrolyte type, reaction time, temperature,current, and the pH for isolation of product are investigated. The yiel...

Direct electrochemical synthesis of sulfonyl amidines from aliphatic amines and sulfonyl azides was realized with good to excellent yields. Traditional tertiary amine substrates were broadened to secondary and primary amines. The reaction intermediates were observed and a reaction mechanism was proposed and discussed.
