Films of 2-(azulen-1-yldiazenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (T) were successfully deposited on glassy carbon surfaces to prepare chemically modified electrodes (CMEs). Their surface characterization was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This complexing monomer has been deposited through direct electropolymerization in conditions established during the electrochemical characterization of T performed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and rotating disk electrode voltammetry (RDE). These methods put in evidence the high degree of asymmetry of oxidation and reduction curves, which is due to the irreversible processes occurring at opposite potentials. The film formation was confirmed by ferrocene redox assay probe. The properties of the electrodes modified with T (T-CMEs) were investigated for sensing heavy metal (HM) ions in water solutions, with promising results for Pb(II) among Cd(II), Cu(II), and Hg(II) ions.

This paper focuses on electrochemical characterization of new azulene compound 2,6-bis((E)-2-(thiophen-3-yl)vinyl)-4-(4,6,8-trimethylazulen-1-yl)pyrylium (L) by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), rotating disk electrode voltammetry (RDE) on glassy carbon disk working electrodes. The character of redox processes was established by CV and RDE using increasing scan rates at different scan domains. PolyL modified electrodes have been prepared by scanning or controlled potential electrolysis (CPE). The complexing properties of L and polyL have been investigated towards detection of heavy metal ions by anodic stripping technique. The voltammetric curves present well defined peaks for Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+, which can be used as analytical signals for their determination. The performances of the modified electrodes obtained at different potentials and charges have been evaluated. The best results have been obtained for Pb2+ and Cd2+ with the achievement of detection limits of 10-7 M.

Chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) based on polymeric films of E-5-((5-isopropyl-3,8-dimethylazulen-1-yl) diazenyl)-1H-tetrazole (L) deposited on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode have been used for the recognition of heavy metal (Me) ions. The electrochemical study of L was done by three methods: differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and rotating disk electrode voltammetry (RDE). The CV, DPV, and RDE studies for L were performed at different concentrations in 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate solutions in acetonitrile. The polymeric films were formed by successive cycling or by controlled potential electrolysis (CPE). The film formation was proven by recording the CV curves of the CMEs in ferrocene solution. The CMEs prepared at different charges or potentials were used for detection of heavy metal ions. Synthetic samples of heavy metal ions (Cd(II), Pb(II), Cu(II), Hg(II)) of concentrations between 10−8 and 10−4 M were analyzed. The most intense signal was obtained for Pb(II) ion (detection limit of about 10−8 M). Pb(II) ion can be detected by these CMEs in waters at such concentrations. The ability of the ligand L to form complexes with Pb(II) and Hg(II) ions was also tested by UV-Vis spectrometry. The obtained results showed the formation of Me(II)L2 complexes.

Azulene is a special monomer used to functionalize electrodes due to its high polarizability, because it makes possible spontaneous electron drift from the five-membered ring to the seven-membered ring. Our study concerns the electrochemical characterization by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse-voltammetry and rotating disk electrode voltammetry of a new azulene monomer, 4-(5-isopropyl-3,8-dimethylazulen-1-yl)-2,6-bis((E)-2-(thiophen-2-yl)vinyl) pyridine (L). It has been used to obtain complexing modified electrodes by electrochemical polymerization. PolyL films modified electrodes have been characterized by cyclic voltammetry in ferrocene probe solution. The complexing properties of polyL based functional materials have been investigated towards heavy metals (Pb, Cd Hg, Cu) by preconcentration � anodic stripping technique.

ABSTRACTWe have previously described the synthesis of a family of molecular ‘squares’ based on octahedral Re(I) coordination of difunctional bridging ligands. The size and chemical composition of the square cavity is highly tunable, and the inorganic cyclophanes are being actively studied in catalytic, separations, and sensing applications. Electrochemical techniques have been primary methods for characterization of the transport properties of thin films of the nanostructured materials. For example, cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode voltammetry experiments have revealed size-selective permeation by redox probes, where the size cutoff is determined by the internal square dimensions. We have more recently begun to employ scanning electrochemical microscopy to spatially image micropatterned electrodes containing these thin film materials, simultaneously allowing us to obtain permeability data and topographical information. This paper describes data obtained by employing porphyrin-based molecular squares that feature chemically tailored cavities.

A recently synthesized azulene-tetrazole molecular receptor is proposed in this paper to continue the series of azulene substituted compounds that have been developed to build polyazulene-based materials for heavy metal (HM) ion detection. This study focuses on characterization of (E)-5-((6-t-butyl-4,8-dimethylazulen-1-yl) diazenyl)-1H-tetrazole (L) by electrochemical techniques in view of its use for designing electrochemical sensors for HM ion complexation. The character of redox processes was proved by cyclic, differential pulse, and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. An in-depth thermodynamic study of the complexation properties of the free ligand with Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions was performed, and the stoichiometry and stability constant values were determined. Chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) based on L (L-CMEs) prepared by controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) at different applied potentials and charges were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Their surface morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The complexing properties of L-CMEs were investigated towards the detection of HM ions by anodic stripping and compared to the stability constants of the complexes in solution. Voltametric curves showed well-defined peaks for Pb (II), Cd (II), Cu (II) and Hg (II), but the responses differ from each other and vary depending on the ion concentrations in the accumulation solutions. The best results were obtained for Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions. The results obtained for Pb(II) are promising and can be used for its analysis in water solutions (detection limit of about 10−9 M).

Three (Z)-5-(azulen-1-ylmethylene)-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-4-ones are electrochemically characterized by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. The electrochemical investigations revealed that the redox potential is influenced by the number and position of the alkyl groups, and the possible oxidation mechanism is proposed. These compounds, after their immobilization on glassy carbon electrodes during oxidative electropolymerization, were examined as complexing ligands for heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions through adsorptive stripping voltammetry.
