ADSORPTIVE STRIPPING VOLTAMMETRIC PROPERTIES OF DBPPH AT MERCURY ELECTRODE

Cyclic voltammetry shows that DBPPH has a pair of cathodic and anodic peaks at Hg electrode.Epc=-1.49 V and Fpa=-1.43 V(vs.Ag/AgCl).The cathodic peak shows adsorptive characteristics.The adsorbed species is DBPPH neutral molecule. The method for measuring trace amount of DBPPH by adsorptive stripping voltammetry is established.

Investigation on Electrochemical Behavior and Scavenging Superoxide Anion Ability of Chrysin at Mercury Electrode

The electrochemical behavior of chrysin in pH 2.0-9.0 Britton-Robinson （B-R） buffer solutions was studied by the means of linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry at a static mercury drop electrode. In different pH range of B-R buffer solutions, chrysin could cause four reduction waves. In pH 2.0-5.8 B-R buffer solutions, wave P1 yielded by chrysin is a one-electron reduction wave, and wave P1 caused by further reduction of the products of wave P1 in pH〈3.0 B-R buffer solution is also a one-electron reduction wave. But in 3.0〈pH〈5.8 B-R buffer solution wave P1 was overlapped by the hydrogen wave. Between pH 5.8 and 9.0, chrysin could yield two reduction waves P2 and P3- The former is an irreversible adsorptive wave of ionized chrysin involving one electron and the latter is also an irreversible adsorptive wave of reduction intermediate radical of chrysin involving one electron and one proton. And a linear relationship between ip3 and the concentration of chrysin can be established from 1.0×10^-6 to 4.0×10^-5 mol·L^-1 （r=0.9924） with the detection limit of 5×10^-7 mol·L^-1. In addition, the antioxidant ability of chrysin was investigated by linear sweep voltammetry （LSV）. The determination result of IC50 of chrysin showed that chrysin is a good antioxidant.

A STUDY ON VOLTAMMETRIC BEHAVIOR OF INDIGO CARMINE AND ITS MIXTURE WITH AMARANTH AT MERCURY FILM ELECTRODE ON SILVER SUBSTRATE

The voltammetric behavior of indigo carmine at mercury film electrode on a silver substrate (MFES) was studied in this paper. It was found that indigo carmine gave a sensitive reduction peak at a potential (Vp) of -0.11 V at pH 4.0 in aqueous solution. The MFES gave good reproducibility and life time. The peak currents (ip) depended lipearly on the concentrations of indigo carmine free 0 to 100 ng/ml. The Vp and Ip of indigo carmine at MFES were independent of the concentrations of amaranth at pH 4.0, the Vp of amaranth was -0.24 V at this pH. The differences of Vp between both colorants enabled to distinguish indigo carmine free amaranth.

Investigation on Voltammetric Behavior of Camptothecin and Its Analytical Application

The voltammetric behavior of camptothecin （CPT） in Britton-Robinson （B-R） buffer solutions （pH 2.09-9.07） was studied by the means of linear sweep voltammetry （LSV）, cyclic voltarnmetry （CV） and normal pulse voltammetry （NPV） at a hanging mercury drop electrode. In different pH range of B-R buffer solutions, CPT could cause three reduction waves. In B-R buffer solutions （pH 2.09-5.46）, wave P1 yielded by CPT was a two-electron wave. Between pH 6.01 and 9.07, CPT could yield two reduction waves P2 and P3. In addition, the pure CPT obtained from camptotheca acumina grown only in China was determined by NPV, and a linear response was observed in the range of 2.0 × 10^-3-4.0 × 10^-2 mmol·L^-1 with a 0.9991 correlation coefficient and a 8.0 × 1^-4 mmol·L^-1 detection limit for CPT.
