Preparation and Characterization of Silver Amalgam Particles on Gold Electrode Surface
Havranová-Vidláková, Pavlína ; Šebest, Peter ; Ligmajer, Filip ; Fojta, Miroslav ; Daňhel, Aleš
This work is focused on the preparation of silver amalgam particles by its direct electrodeposition on gold surfaces using double pulse chronoamperometry from solution containing soluble Ag+ and Hg2+ ionts. During the electrodepositions of silver amalgam particles, different: i) parameters of chronoamperometry, ii) Ag/Hg ratio in solution and iii) gold electrodes were studied. All the prepared amalgam particles were characterized by scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electrochemical methods. Voltammetric application of the gold electrodes decorated by sliver amalgam particles was confirmed by analysis of model organic nitrocompound using cyclic voltammetry.

Havran, Luděk ; Havranová-Vidláková, Pavlína ; Špaček, Jan ; Vítová, Lada ; Hermanová, Monika ; Fojta, Miroslav
Coniplexes of osmium tetroside with nitrogen ligands (Os,L e.g.. with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) find application in redox labelling of DNA.. probing of DNA structure, and in studies of DNA interaction with other molecules Os,L preferentially react with pyrimidines in single strand DNA producing electroactive adducts Primary reaction site for Os,L is C=C double bond in pyrimidine nucleobases. In this contribution we introduce a new two-step technique of DNA modification with Os,bpy, consisting in enzymatic construdion or DNA beating butyl acrylate (BA) moieties attached to uracil or T-deaza adenine, followed by chemical modification of a reactive C=C double bond in BA residue.

Voltammetric Detection of Purine Nucleobases on Screen-Printed Graphite Electrodes Modified by Nanocarbon Materials
Hasoň, Stanislav ; Ostatná, Veronika ; Fojta, Miroslav
Recent studies have shown that the electrochemical oxidation of purine nucleobases (adenine and geaoine) at graphite electrodes is strongly dependent on the orientation of graphene sheets. their size and mutual distribution on the electrode surface. Edges and defects of graphene sheets affect the kinetics of oxidation processes, basal planes support the adsorption processes The aim of this study is to determine how model carbon nanomaterials including graphene, single-walled or multi-wailed carbon nanotubes. carbon nanofibres and mesoporous graphene affect the electrochemical oxidation or purine nuclebases on screen-printed carbon electrodes modified by these nanostructures in solution without and in the presence of copper.

Electrochemical Investigation of Different Boron Cluster Compounds in Water-based Electrolytes
Fojt, Lukáš ; Vespalec, Radim ; Fojta, Miroslav ; Grüner, Bohumír
Boron cluster compounds (BCC) belongs to one or the proud sing compounds which ace used for medical treatment Their use for biochemical purposes is connected with use of water-based environments. Up to now, the BCC were predominantly characterized in non-aqueous milieus Therefore, we decided to undertake electrochemical research of BCC in water-based electrolytes. We have investigated several boron clusters with structures containing different number of vertexes (from 3 to 18), The structures were modified by endo- and exo- skeletal substituents. All used BCC were electrochemically active in broad potential region. which implies their possible use as biomarkers with tunable electrochemical response.

Penconazole and its behaviour in the presence of copper
Jakl, M. ; Jaklová Dytrtová, Jana
Penconazole is a fungicide frequently used in agriculture. Its possible impact to (non-)target species is influenced by its interactions e.g. with copper, typically present in soil as an ion (or in week complexes) or in bodies, as a part of enzymes. This study brings the information potentially useful in the evaluation of penconazole fate in the environment. The studies based on the electrospray gas phase experiments provide an estimate of the penconazole reactivity in copper presence including its possible degradation pathways.

Redox Properties of Fluorinated Derivativers of 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran-Chromophores for Singlet Fission
Šimková, Ludmila ; Ludvík, Jiří
Derivatives of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran attract interest because they should be efficient as the molecules for singlet fission. The understanding of singlet fission in isolated molecules might be advantageous for use as solar cell sensitizers. This study is focused on fluorinated derivatives of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran and the effect of the position of fluorine atoms on their redox properties. For characterization of the redox properties standard electrochemical methods, and in situ UV-vis and EPR spectroscopy techniques were used.

Differences in Oxidation Mechanism of Selected Bioflavonoids, UV-Vis and IR Spectroelectrochemical Study
Sokolová, Romana ; Fiedler, Jan ; Ramešová, Šárka ; Kocábová, Jana ; Degano, I. ; Quinto, A. ; Křen, Vladimír
The oxidation of selected bioflavonoids (quercetin, rhamnazin, fisetin, rhamnetin, taxifolin, luteolin, silybin and 2,3-dehydrosilybin) was studied by electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. The oxidation mechanism and formation of oxidation products depends on the chemical structure. Only small differences in the chemical structure of compounds with flavone, flavanone and flavonol motif result in extremely variable oxidation pathways and products. Products of oxidation and further decomposition were determined by HPLC-ESIMS/MS and HPLC-DAD.

Study of Metabolism of Synthetic Cannabinoids. Electrochemical Properties of JWH-018
Obluková, Michaela ; Sokolová, Romana ; Čabala, R.
In the recent years, many new substances have appeared in the drug market, which are abused for their psychoactive effect. They serve as alternative to classical drugs (heroin, cocaine, ecstasy) due to their legal status. The great concern is the ineffectiveness of the current methods of toxicological screening of biological samples to identify these new compounds. It is essential to know the metabolism pathway of these psychoactive substances for a development of a new efficient method for their detection. This report is devoted to understanding of oxidation and reduction mechanism of JWH-018 and JWH-250 by means of cyclic voltammetry and to identification of their redox products.

Influence of Adsorption on Electrochemical Reduction of Pyridinium Derivatives
Nováková Lachmanová, Štěpánka ; Dupeyre, G. ; Lainé, P. P. ; Hromadová, Magdaléna
Two expanded pyridinium-based compounds 1 and 2 were studied by cyclic voltammetry in two different environments. The nonaqueous solution suppresses the adsorption of the compounds on the electrode surface. Adsorption process in aqueous environment was confirmed by typical shape of the curve as well as by the linear dependence of peak current on the scan rate. The shift of standard redox potential in aqueous solution compared to nonaqueous environment toward more negative potential indicates the adsorption of reactant on the electrode surface. Larger shift observed for flat conjugated molecule 1 confirms its stronger adsorption than for the second molecule.
