UV-Vis and IR Spectroelectrocbemistry of Copper Complexes and Bioactive Compounds
Sokolová, Romana ; Obluková, Michaela ; Sýs, M. ; Mikysek, T. ; Wantulok, J. ; Nycz, J. E. ; Degano, I.
The interpretation of the change of absorption spectrum of an oxidized and reduced molecule\nrecorded during the electron transfer is an efficient tool for the determination of oxidation or\nreduction mechanism. This technique provides the information about the electroactive\nchromophore and is performed in two regimes of electrochemical measurement, cyclic\nvoltammetry and chronoamperometry, respectively. This approach was successfully applied to\nstudy the fundamental electrochemical behavior of recently synthesized copper complexes\nproviding biomimetic activity, ofpolyphenolic bioactive compounds, and also for the reduction\nof halogenated phenanthrolines. The identification of redox products was done by\nchromatographic techniques as HPLC-DAD and HPLC-ESI-MS/MS.

Electrochemical Study of Oxazaborine Chromophores
Mikysek, T. ; Josefík, F. ; Vytřas, K. ; Ludvík, Jiří
This contribution describes a basic electrochemical study of a series of newly synthesized chromophores based on the oxazaborine core. The attention was focused on determination of the first oxidation and the first reduction potentials, their difference and the relationship to the calculated highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies. The oxidation is mostly a two-electron irreversible process, the first reduction is also irrevesible, but involving one-electron. For better understanding of the relationship between the structure and redox properties, the approach using sigma (para) constants of Hammett type was applied, the difference between E(ox) and E(red) was correlated with the HOMO-LUMO gap.

New Characterisation Approaches for Carbon Ionic Liquid Electrodes (CILES)
Mikysek, T. ; Stočes, M. ; Švancara, I. ; Vytřas, K. ; Ludvík, Jiří
Within this study, some new approaches to characterize the carbon paste mixtures and the respective carbon ionic liquid electrodes (CILEs) are presented and their properties discussed. Particular attention has been paid to the changes of the resistivity, relative to the dependence on composition of the CILE. Three types of carbon ionic liquid pastes were examined, and for the interpretation of experimental data, the results were compared with those of "classic" carbon paste electrode (CPE) based on graphite powder. Some problems connected with homogeneity and stability of carbon pastes are also discussed.

Některé nové přístupy k charakterizaci uhlíkových pastových elektrod
Mikysek, T. ; Švancara, I. ; Ludvík, Jiří ; Vytřas, K. ; Kalcher, K.
Carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) have several substantial advantages: their surface is easily renewable and it is possible to modify the electrode material in the bulk in order to prepare a specific sensor. The properties of the electrodes depend strongly on the used materials, that means on the carbon powder as well as on the oily binder, and on their proportions. Therefore the characterization of every type of such electrodes is very significant. We have found that the graph of the dependence of electrode resistance on the percentual composition manifests itself as two crossing lines. For the explanation of this dependence, a model based on the tight packing of spheres was suggested, formulated, tested and discussed. The other possibility how to characterize the electrodes is detailed interpretation of cyclic voltammetry of a reversible redox system. Both methods are compatible and enable to explain also problems with storage and ageing of electrodes.
