Lithium ethylene dicarbonate (CH2OCO2Li)2 was chemically synthesized and its Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum was obtained and compared with that of surface films formed on Ni after cyclic voltammetry (CV) in 1.2M lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6)/ ethylene carbonate (EC): ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) (3:7, w/w) electrolyte and on metallic lithium cleaved in-situ in the same electro...

The synthesis and properties of a series of bis-tetrathiafulvalenes (bis-TTFs) containing nitrophenyl, aminophenyl or dimethylaminophenyl is reported. The synthesis was carried out by using routes involving Wittig-type, cross-coupling, reduction and alkylation reactions. The electron donor ability of these new compounds has been measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Charge transfer complexes wit...

Introduction Glucose level can be monitored using fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) [1][2]. The FSCV is known to have better chemical resolution than conventional sensors. [2] The FSCV can be implemented wirelessly [3]. However, the latter system is based on Bluetooth unit which requires a battery in the internal unit. We propose a method for wireless transmission of FSCV where the internal u...

The theory of cyclic voltammetry is presented for chemical reactions coupled with electron transfer reactions. A numerical method is described for solving integral equations derived from the appropriate boundary value problems. New correlations make it possible to characterize unknown systems by studying the variation of peak current, half-peak potential, or ratio of anodic to cathodic peak cur...

Ten ferrocenyl bis-amide derivatives were successfully synthesized via the Ugi four-component reaction by treating ferrocenecarboxylic acid with diverse aldehydes, amines, and isocyanides in methanol solution. Their chemical structures were fully characterized by IR, NMR, HR-MS, and X-ray diffraction analyses. They feature unique molecular morphologies and create a 14-membered ring motif in the...

2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexahydroxytriphenylene of good quality and purity can be obtained via anodic treatment of catechol ketals and subsequent acidic hydrolysis. The electrolysis is conducted in propylene carbonate circumventing toxic and expensive acetonitrile. The protocol is simple to perform and superior to other chemical or electrochemical methods. The key of the method is based on the low solubi...

The development of a fingerprinting strategy capable to evaluate the "oxidation status" of white wines based on cyclic voltammetry is proposed here. It is known that the levels of specific antioxidants and redox mechanisms may be evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. This electrochemical technique was applied on two sets of samples. One group was composed of normal aged white wines and a second grou...

A theoretical model of a surface electrode reaction coupled with a preceding chemical reaction (surface CE electrode mechanism) is theoretically studied under conditions of square-wave voltammetry. The position and the shape of the theoretical voltammograms are function of the redox kinetic parameter k 1⁄4 ks f where ks is the standard electron exchange rate constant and f is the frequency of t...

Deciphering the mechanism, kinetics and energetics of biological electron-transfer reactions requires a robust, rapid reproducible protein-film voltammetry information recovery process. Here we describe semi-automated computational approach for inferring chemical reaction parameters simple protein system, bacterial cytochrome domain from Cellvibrio japonicus that displays reversible one-electro...
