The chlorophenols, cyclohexadienones, benzoquinones and chlorophenoxy-phenols are analysed using UV detection. Simultaneous electrochemical detection enables specific analysis of electro active compounds in reduction. 

Finally, attempts have been made to perform electrochemical DNA detection without having to use metal-modified ODNs. " This can be achieved by immobilizing the capture ODN on an electrode, allowing it to hybridize with the target DNA, and then adding an electro-active compound that will interact only with ds-DNA. Quite a number of compounds have been used for detection, including Go complexes, ethidium bromide, and...

Following the pioneering work of Bloch, Shatkay, Saroff [452] and Moody, Thomas [137], increasingly more manufacturers fix the electro-active compound in a much more sturdy PVC matrix and thus obtain solid matrix electrodes with such excellent specifications as stability < 1 mV/24 h reproducibility 0.5 mV response time < 30 s operational life time 4-6 months Because of their importance (some automatic clinical analyzers use them), one way of preparation is given. 

The electronic adsorption spectra for the complexes [Ir(OH)6]", where n = 0-2, have been resolved and peak maxima locations, molar extinction coefficients, oscillator strengths, and band half-widths calculated.44 Bands have been assigned in the main part to be one-electron MLCT transitions. Spectrophotometrically determined rate constants for the OH reduction of the IrVI and Irv complexes at 25 °C in 3M NaOH are (2.59 0.09) x 10—3 s—1 and (1.53 0.05) x 10 4 s 1 respectively. The activation energy for the reduction, Irv—>IrIV, is nAkcalmoC1. Cyclic voltammetry and potentiostatic coulometry of [Ir(OEI )r,]2 in 3M NaOH on a Pt electrode show that during the electro-oxidation compounds of Irv and IrVI are formed.45... 

In MEKC, mainly anionic surface-active compounds, in particular SDS, are used. SDS and all other anionic surfactants have a net negative charge over a wide range of pH values, and therefore the micelles have a corresponding electrophoretic mobility toward the anode (opposite the direction of electro-osmotic flow). Anionic species do not interact with the negatively charged surface of the capillary, which is favorable in common CZE but especially in ACE. Therefore, SDS is the best-studied tenside in MEKC. Long-chain cationic ammonium species have also been employed for mainly anionic and neutral solutes (16). Bile salts as representatives of anionic surfactants have been used for the analysis of ionic and nonionic compounds and also for the separation of optical isomers (17-19). 

Haloaluminate ILs are tunable solvents that allow the dependence of the oxidation state of a compound on the solvent acidity to be studied. An example [4] is the characterization of iodine and the iodine species in different oxidation states at widely varied acidities of [C4py]Cl/AlCl3. The variety of the species formed at different solvent acidities reflects the features of the characteristic acid-base interactions in chloroaluminate molten salts as well. Combining electrochemical and spectroscopic data, the electro-active species can be idenhfied as it was done in Ref. 5. 

An attempt to combine electrochemical and micellar-catalytic methods is interesting from the point of view of the mechanism of anode nitration of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene with sodium nitrite (Laurent et al. 1984). The reaction was performed in a mixture of water with in 2% surface-active compounds of cationic, anionic, or neutral nature. It was established that 2,5-dimethoxy-l-nitrobenzene—the product—was formed only in the region of potentials corresponding to simultaneous electro-oxidation of the substrate to the cation radical and of the nitrite ion to the nitrogen dioxide radical (1.5 V versus saturated calomel electrode). 

An effect of the ring-size in addition to that observed in the elimination taking place in the reduction of vicinal dibromides, has been observed for medium-sized ring compounds which carry the electro-active group either in the side-chain or directly attached to the ring. The half-wave potentials of cycloalkyl bromides can be correlated with the half-wave potentials of cyclic ketones and their derivatives (Fig. 29). The observed relation indicates that the relative effect of ring-size on the reactivity is similar in all the reaction series compared. 

When an electro chemically active compound is present in the solution phase, an anodic current peak at the potential p>a is detected with the peak current Jp>a. When the potential is swept back during the reverse scan a further current peak (see p>c) may be observed with... 

The discovery and coordination chemistry of phenanthrolines closely followed that of the bipyridines throughout the early twentieth century, much as it does today. F. Blau1 and Gerdiessen2 are credited with the earliest published syntheses of 1,10-phenanthrolines (phen, (1)) in the late nineteenth century. While the colored metal complexes of these compounds had been reported, their utility as colorimetric indicators was not discussed until 1931.3 For the next several decades, phenanthroline derivatives served primarily as colorimetric indicators for many transition metals. Throughout this period, the contributions of G. F. Smith,4-7 F. H. Case,8-10 A. A. Schilt,11 and others toward the chemistry of these complexes resulted in a wealth of synthetic routes for derivatives of (1). The flourishing studies of polypyridyl-coordinated metal complexes provided inspiration for preparing unique phenanthrolines with a wealth of pendant photo- and electro-active molecules.12-16... 

Typical low molar mass AnD compounds and polymers containing AnD moieties are listed in Table 3.2 [38] and Table 3.3 [39, 40]. In this context, it is noticeable that electro-optically active compounds have been tabulated [7]. 

In indirect methods, as mentioned in Chapter IV, polarographic-ally inactive substances are transformed into compounds showing waves on polarographic curves, or concentration changes of a polarographically active substance which reacts with the electro-inactive compound to be determined, are measured. Finally, polarometric (amperometric) titrations can be included in this group of analytical methods. 

Such detectors are employed for analyzing a wealth of inorganic and organic ions in the pg/L range. This includes environmetally relevant anions such as sulfide and cyanide [11, 12], as well as arsenic(III) [13], halide ions, oxyhalides [14], nitrite [14], thiosulfate [14], hydrazine, and phenols. A survey of electro-chemically active compounds and the working electrodes and potentials is given in Table 7-2.
