An alternative to light-related detection is an electrochemical response. If the sensor and analyte are in solution then cyclic voltammetry can be used to detect changes in redox potential between the free sensor and its complex with the analyte. Supramolecular applications of this approach were pioneered by Beer who linked crown ethers to electrochemically responsive ferrocenium [1] and cobalticinium [14] groups. In the former case a response was detected when cations complementary to the crown ether cavity were added to acetonitrile solutions of the sensors in the latter, anions were detected by an acyclic receptor. 

Digital simulation — Data from electrochemical experiments such as cyclic voltammetry are rich in information on solution composition, diffusion processes, kinetics, and thermodynamics. Mathematical equations describing the corresponding parameter space can be written down but can be only very rarely solved analytically. Instead computer algorithms have been devised to ac-... 

In cyclic voltammetry, both the oxidation and reduction of the metal complex (called the analyte from now on) will take place in one electrochemical cell. This cell houses the analyte solution as well as three electrodes, the working electrode, the auxiliary electrode and the reference electrode. Electron transfer to and from the metal complex takes place at the working electrode surface (Fig. A.2.2) and does so in response to an applied potential, /iapp, at the electrode surface. During the experiment, current develops at the surface as a result of the movement of analyte to and from the electrode as the system strives to maintain the appropriate concentration ratio (0, through electron transfer, as specified by the Nemst equation. 

In the type of linear-sweep voltammetry discussed thus far, the potential is changed slowly enough and mass transfer is rapid enough that a steady state is reached at the electrode surface. Hence, the mass transport rate of analyte A to the electrode just balances its reduction rate at the electrode. Likewise, the mass transport of P away from the electrode is just equal to its production rate at the electrode surface. There is another type of linear-sweep voltammetry in which fast scan rates (1 V/s or greater) are used with unstirred solutions. In this type of voltammetry, a peak-shaped current-time signal is obtained because of depletion of the analyte in the solution near the electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (see Section 23D) is an example of a process in which forward and reverse linear scans are applied. With cyclic voltammetry, products formed on the forward scan can be detected on the reverse scan if they have not moved away from the electrode or been altered by a chemical reaction. 

Several newer techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) are now used to identify a proper choice of an antioxidant. CV is an electrolytic method that uses microelectrodes and an unstirred solution, so that the measured current is limited by analyte diffusion at the electrode surface. The electrode potential is ramped linearly to a more negative potential, and then ramped in reverse back to the starting voltage. The forward scan produces a current peak for any analyte that can be reduced through the range of the potential scan. The current will increase as the potential reaches the reduction potential of the analyte, but then falls off as the concentration of the analyte is depleted close to the electrode surface. As the applied potential is reversed, it wiU reach a potential that will reoxidize the product formed in the first reduction reaction, and produce a current of reverse polarity from the forward scan. This oxidation peak will usually have a similar shape to the reduction peak. The peak current, ip, is described by the Randles-Sevcik equation ... 

Mix fsDNA solution and H33258 at a final concentration of 1 pM in 50mM PBS and pipet an aliquot (20 pL) of this mixture on the gold or carbon SPE surface. Measure immediately using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) after an equilibration time of 10s, with a sample interval of lmV, and a scan rate of 0.1 V/s from 0 to IV (Fig. 5). Alternatively, cyclic voltammetry (CV) can be applied with a scan range between 0 and 1V at a sweep rate of 0.1 V/s. For differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements, the potential is scanned from 0 to 0.90V with a step potential of 4mV, pulse amplitude of 50mV, and a pulse period of 0.20s at a scan rate of lOmV/s. The current height is recorded at the peak potential (-0.6V) for analytical evaluation of the measurements. All measurements should be carried out at room temperature. 

The various tunable properties of zeolites have inspired a great variety of concepts in electrochemistry with zeolite-modified electrodes. For example, silver ions inside the zeolite pore system arc not electrochemically active in amperometric detection. Flowever, indirect analyte detection can occur when the analyte causes the removal of silver ions into the solution where they are electrochemically detected.[94] This indirect approach was extended to different copper-exchanged zeolites and demonstrated for the detection of several non-elcctroactive ions including alkali metal, ammonium and calcium.[95] A zeolite-modified electrode (ZME) with high selectivity towards Pb over Cd in cyclic voltammetry was prepared via electrophoretic deposition of zeolite Y, coated with Nafion.[96]...

Immobilization of complexing agents on electrode surfaces was achieved by several procedures. Lane and Hubbard first demonstrated the principle by adsorbing a salicylate ligand, which could complex Fe(III) solution species, onto platinum electrodes. Cox and Majda adsorbed adenosine monophosphate onto platinum electrodes to detect Fe(II) from solution using cyclic voltammetry. Price and Baldwin used ferrocene carboxaldehyde as a model analyte to investigate a modified electrode developed to determine aldehydes and ketones. The formation...
