ELECTROCATALYTIC OXIDATION OF REDUCED NICOTINAMIDE COENZYMES AT ORGANIC DYE-MODIFIED ELECTRODES

Chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) were prepared by adsorbing different dyes, including methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue (TB) and brilliant cresyl blue (BCB), onto glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) with anodic pretreatment. The electrochemical reactions of adsorbed dyes are fairly reversible at low coverages. The CMEs are more stable in acid solutions than in alkaline ones, which is mainly due to decomposition of the dyes in the latter media. They exhibit an excellent catalytic ability for the oxidation of nicotinamide coenzymes (NADH and NADPH). The formation of a charge transfer complex between the coenzyme and the adsorbed mediator has been demonstrated using a rotating disk electrode. The charge transfer complex decomposition is a slow step in the overall electrode reaction process. Some kinetic parameters are estimated. Dependence of the electrocatalytic activity of the CMEs on the solution pH is discussed.

ELECTROCHEMICAL AND IN-SITU SPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF (TETRAPHENYLPORPHINATO)MANGANESE(III) PERCHLORATE IN THE PRESENCE OF CHLORIDE ANIONS .2. OXIDATION PROCESSES

An investigation of electrode oxidation processes of (tetra-phenylporphinato) manganese (III) Perchlorate, (TPS)Mn(III)ClO4, was carried out during the titration of chloride anions by conventional cyclic voltammetry, thin-layer cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. It was demonstrated that in the presence of one equivalent amount of Cl-, the first one electron oxidation reaction corresponds to the Mn(III)I cation radical oxidation, and the second one electron oxidation corresponds to the cation radical/dication generation followed by an iso-porphyrin formation reaction, however in the presence of two equivalent amount of Cl-, the first one electron oxidation of Mn(III) gives Mn(IV) porphyrin and the second one electron oxidation generates cation radicals of Mn(IV) followed by an iso-porphyrin formation reactions. Mechanisms of these redox processes are postulated.

ANODIC-OXIDATION OF HYDRAZINE ON GLASSY-CARBON ELECTRODES IN ACETONITRILE

The anodic oxidation kinetics of hydrazine on glassy carbon electrodes in acetonitrile were examined by cyclic voltammetry, a rotating ring-disc electrode technique and chronoamperometry. The experimental results of the rotating ring-disc electrode prove that hydrazine is oxidized to HN=NH, which cannot be oxidized further in acetonitrile. Hydrazine molecules are adsorbed on the electrode surface. One-third of the adsorbed hydrazine molecules are oxidized to HN=NH and the other two thirds act as proton acceptors. A possible mechanism of hydrazine oxidation is proposed.

THE CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF HETEROPOLY ACIDS (SALTS) AND MONO-LACUNARY HETEROPOLY TUNGSTOPHOSPHORIC COMPOUND IN THE OXIDATION OF ALCOHOLS

The catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and cyclohexa nol under phase transfer conditions has been studied. The catalytic activity of six kinds of heteropoly acids with Keggin structure will drop by the order of GeMo12 (H4GeMo12O40). PW12, PMo12, SiMo12, GeW12 and SiW12. When the three protons of H3PW12O40 Were replaced by Na+ step by step, the catalytic activity will raise gradually with the drop of acidity. The addition of base and trace amount of sulfuric acid to the reaction system resulted in an increase of catalytic activity. It was found that catalytic activity of mono-lacunary heteropoly compounds is higher than that of the primary heteropoly acids (or salts). The catalytic oxidation system of HPA-H2O2-PTC is very active in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol ana cyclohexanol, but it has little activity in the oxidation of inactive compounds such as n(or iso)-proplalcohol. n-butyl alcohol and n-hexanol. Solvent has great effect on reaction, when polar compounds such as water were used as solvent, the catalytic activity is better than that when non-polar compounds were used as solvent.

A STUDY OF CATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF PEROVSKITE-TYPE OXIDES LAMNYCO1-YO3 .1. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TYPE OF OXYGEN SPECIES AND THE CATALYTIC PROPERTY IN AMMONIA OXIDATION

The type of oxygen species in perovskite-type oxides LaMnyCo1-yO3 (y = 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0) has been studied by means of XRD, XPS and TPD. The catalytic activity in ammonia oxidation was also investigated. It was found that there were three desorption peaks in TPD curve corresponding to three types of oxygen species (alpha, beta, beta'). The desorption temperatures were 293 K less-than-or-equal-to T(alpha) less-than-or-equal-to 773 K, 773 K less-than-or-equal-to T(beta) less-than-or-equal-to K and T(beta') greater-than-or-equal-to 1073 K respectively. The relationship among the composition, structure and the catalytic property of.the catalyst was correlated and could be explainned with a model based on solid defect reaction and the interaction between Co and Mn ions. The adsorption strength and quantity of a oxygen are proportional to the catalytic activity. The, result indicates that the synergetic effect between B-site ions seems to the benefit of the ammonis oxidation reaction.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLY-ORTHO-METHYLANILINE WITH DIFFERENT DEGREES OF OXIDATION

Poly-ortho-methylanilines (POT) in three states fully oxidized, fully reduced and oxidized in varying degrees were synthesized by the reaction of common POT (C-POT) having nearly equal amounts of benzenediamine and quinonediimine units with iodine or phenyl-hydrazine, and the resulting polymers were characterized by IR, C-13-NMR, SEM and elemental analysis. The results showed that the quinonediimine unit in C-POT could be reduced by phenylhydrazine to the benzenediamine unit, forming the polymer with low OD (oxidation degree) or in a fully reduced state and that iodine-oxidation resulted in the increase of quinonediimine unit and decrease of benzenediamine unit. The solubility and flexibility of the formed polymers depend strongly on the amount of quinonediimine unit in it. It is necessary to reduce the content of quinonediimine structure unit in order to improve the solubility of aniline-class polymers.
