Abstract
Two new silver(I) complexes, {[Ag2(S-3Py)2(fumarate)]·2C2H5OH·2H2O}n (1) and [Ag2(S-4Py)2(fumarate)]·3C2H5OH (2), (S-3Py = bis[1-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl]sulfane, S-4Py = bis[1-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl]sulfane), were synthesized. Single-crystal structural analysis revealed that Complex 1 adopts a one-dimensional chain structure, while Complex 2 exhibits a discrete binuclear configuration. The difference of skeleton structure of silver(I) complexes is due to the steric hindrance of main ligands S-3Py and S-4Py. The electrochemical sensing performance of two silver(I) complexes modified glassy carbon electrodes (Ag-1@GCE and Ag-2@GCE) for hydrogen peroxide detection in 0.2 M PBS was studied by constant voltage chronoamperometry. The Ag-1@GCE and Ag-2@GCE sensors for H2O2 was realized with a good linear response over the concentration range from 0.5 μM to 4 mM, a detection limit of 0.136 μM and 0.214 μM (S/N = 3), high selectivity and short response time (< 3 s). Relative to Ag-2@GCE, Ag-1@GCE has better H2O2 recognition activity, which is attributed to the extensible one-dimensional structure and more electrocatalytic active sites of complex 1. Moreover, the two electrodes demonstrate high accuracy, with a recovery rate of 96.5 % -103.3 % for H2O2 detection. This paper provides a new method for the development of metal complex electrochemical sensors.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
