The Electrochemistry of Natural Pigments
Sokolová, Romana ; Degano, I. ; Hromadová, Magdaléna ; Pospíšil, Lubomír
The electrochemical properties of flavonoid compounds (hemotoxylin, quercetin) were studied in buffered aqueous and non-aqueous solutions. The role of the preceding protonation/deprotonation on the electron transfer was estimated. The absorption spectra of these compounds, which contain a chromophore, were recorded during their oxidation. The electrochemical techniques were combined with GC-MS analysis in order to identify the degradation products. The mechanism of the formation of degradation products will be discussed.

Electrochemistry of selected halogenated pesticides and their complexes with cyclodextrins
Sokolová, Romana ; Hromadová, Magdaléna ; Pospíšil, Lubomír
A detailed investigation of electrochemical properties of triazine pesticides, carboxyimid-type pesticides and benzonitrile pesticides was studied. Their degradation pathways include the protonization reactions coupled with electron transfer and several side chemical reactions. The study of inclusion complexes of halogenated pesticides with cyclodextrins was performed. The inclusion into the molecular cavities markedly influenced the decomposition mechanism of these compounds by protection of reactive groups by cyclodextrin environment. The degradation products were identified by GC-MS analysis and in-situ IR spectroelectrochemistry.
