Transparent boron-doped diamond electrode (t-BDDE) for spectroelectrochemistry
Lušpai, K. ; Keszeliová, D. ; Barlog, M. ; Petrák, Václav
In this work we have studied the properties of high quality boron-doped diamond layers prepared on transparent substrate and their use as working electrode for EPR/UV-VIS-NIR spectroelectrochemistry. Final goal of this work is to benefit from the wide potential window of boron-doped diamond electrodes even in the field of the EPR/UV-VIS-NIR spectroelectrochemistry. The studied electrodes are compatiable with UV-VIS-NIR measurements. Spectral background is stable within the whole electrochemical window. Some of the electrodes, with lower doping level, are also compatible with EPR spectroscopy. In this work, the electrodes and their properties are presented and usability is demonstrate by the spectrochemistry on real sample.

Utilization of Catalytic Hydrogen Evolution in Electrochemical Analysis of Nucleic Acids
Fojta, Miroslav ; Daňhel, Aleš ; Špaček, Jan ; Havran, Luděk ; Šebest, Peter ; Orság, Petr ; Pivoňková, Hana ; Vosáhlová, J. ; Schwarzová-Pecková, K.
Catalysis of hydrogen evolution (CHE) at mercury in the presence of proteins was discoverd shortly after the introduction of polarography. In contrast, unmodified nucleic acids have not been reported to produce distinct signals due to the CHE to date. Chemically modified nucleic acids bearing certain extrinsic groups produce analytically useful signals due to hydrogen evloution catalyzed by the respective modifications. These species include (a) transition metal complexes, and (b) non-metal catalytically active organic moieties. In addition, the CHE has been reported to be invoved in guanine reduction process at the mercury-based electrodes.

2D Condensation of 5-Fluorocytosine in Different Electrolytes
Fojt, Lukáš ; Fojta, Miroslav
Two-dimensional (2D) condensation and adsorption of 5-fluorocytosine on hanging mercury drop electrode in differnt electrolytes was investigated. We have used different sodium halide salts as basic electrolytes. The influence of electrolytes composition was displayed using differential capacitance measurements. Effects of ions present in used electolytes solution was remarkable. We observed huge change in 2D condensed layers in dependence on ions type.

Charge Transport through Molecular Towers Based on Tetraphenyhmethane Tripods
Kolivoška, Viliam ; Šebera, Jakub ; Lindner, M. ; Valášek, M. ; Mayor, M. ; Mészáros, G. ; Gasior, Jindřich ; Hromadová, Magdaléna
Molecular platforms with multiple anchors were introduced recently to provide robusi coupling between molecular electronic components and metallic electrodes. In this work, charge transport in tower-shaped single molecule conductors based on tetraphenylmethane tripod possessing three thiol anchors is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy break junction technique. The effect of tripod substitution pattern and number of repeating units in molecule is addressed. The substitution was found to influence conductance value in early stages of molecular junction evolution, where tower lays parallel to surface. In late stages, the charge is transported through principal molecular axis and junction breaks thermally in tilted configuration.

Electrochemically Switchable DNA Tags
Vidláková, Pavlína ; Havran, Luděk ; Fojta, Miroslav
DNA labelling is used for the improvement of sensitivity and selectivity of its electrochemical detection. Attachment of a new electroactive group into DNA strand can give rise to a new electrochemical signal. For analysis of label DNA is often advantageous to use redox tags giving reversible redox signal because of the possibility of performing several repeated measurements with one sample. Some redox tags give reversible redox signal directly in their introduced forms. Reduction/oxidation of other redox tags is irreversible but reduction/oxidation of these groups can give rise to new groups that yield reversible electrochemistry.

Novel Reactive Groups for Modification DNA by Oxoosmium Complexes
Havran, Luděk ; Vidláková, Pavlína ; Špaček, Jan ; Hermanová, Monika ; Fojta, Miroslav
DNA is naturally electroactive moleclue producing several intrinsie voltammetric signals. Some of them found appliction in electrochemical analysis of DNA interactions and damage. In particular types of applictaions is a suitable use DNA labelling by redox active tags to increase selectivity and sensitivity of analysis.One type of long-term used tags are complexes of osmium tetroxide with nittrogen ligunds (Os,L). These complexes preferentially react with pyrimidines in single stand DNA producing electractive adducts. primary reaction site for Os,L is C-C double bond in pyrimidine nucleobases. In this contribution will be presented results acquired with DNA containing chemically modified nuclebase.

Limitations and Possibilities of Nanostructurized Silver Amalgam
Daňhel, Aleš ; Šebest, Peter ; Vidláková, Pavlína ; Ligmajer, Filip
Variability of silver amalgam offers a row of opportunities for its application in electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods, thanks to its chemical, mechanical, electrochemical and spectrometric properties. This work briefly revews preparation possibilities and limitations of nanostructurized crystalas and nanopartices pf silver amalgam at different forms of carbon metals (Ag, Au, Pt) and transparent materials (ITO, FTO). These detection sysytems are in the scope of ongoing systematics research with the potential to indevelopment of novel working (micro)electrodes and spectroelectrochemical cells, potentially utilizable in modern (bio)analytical applictions.
