Abstract
This study reports the development of a novel electrochemical sensor for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol (PR) and tryptophan (TR) using a carbon paste electrode modified with a synthesized sulfadiazine-resorcinol azo dye (SRAD). The SRAD compound was synthesized via a diazo coupling reaction and its molecular structure was confirmed using spectroscopic techniques. Electrochemical characterization demonstrated that the sulfadiazine-resorcinol azo dye modified carbon paste electrode (SRAD/MCPE) exhibits good performance for the concurrent quantification of PR and TR. The sensor achieved low limits of detection (7.9 μM for PR and 4.11 μM for TR), along with good Repeatability and stability. Operational parameters such as pH, scan rate, and interference effects were systematically optimized. In parallel, SRAD exhibited significant corrosion inhibition efficiency for mild steel in acidic media, functioning as good inhibitor with spontaneous Langmuir adsorption behavior. Surface analysis via SEM validated the protective film formation. Furthermore, the utility of SRAD was extended to forensic science, where the dusting method successfully visualized Level I and II latent fingerprint features under both normal and UV illumination.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
