Abstract
Benefits from the pyrazole ligands 4, 5-bis(pyrazole-1-yl) phthalic acid (C14N4O4H10), Co(NO)3·6H2O and Cu(NO)3·3H2O, four 3D supramolecular compounds ([Co(C14N4O4H9)2(H2O)2]∙2H2O (1), [Co2(C16N4O4H13)2(CH3COO)2]·C2H5OH (2), [Co(C14N4O4H9)(CH3COO)(C3H7OH)]·C3H7OH (3)) and [Cu2(C14N4O4H9)2(H2O)2]∙6H2O (4) were synthesized. Among them, the ethanol solution in compound 2 can be used as both solvent and reactant to form 4, 5-bis(pyrazole-1-yl) ethyl phthalate with 4, 5-bis (pyrazole-1-yl) phthalate (C16N4O4H14), which is directly synthesized by a one-step method. This study reports a one-step synthesis method for ester compounds, opening new avenues for the synthesis of ester compounds using solvent. Compounds 1–4 were doped with graphite to prepare a series of composite carbon paste electrodes, and their electrochemical sensing performance toward uric acid, dopamine, and acetaminophen was investigated. Among the four compounds, the modified electrode prepared using 1 and 4 exhibited excellent electrochemical sensing performance, high sensitivity, exceptional selectivity, and remarkable recyclability for detecting uric acid (pH = 7), dopamine (pH = 4) and acetaminophen (pH = 7) in PBS solution.
期刊介绍:
Transition Metal Chemistry is an international journal designed to deal with all aspects of the subject embodied in the title: the preparation of transition metal-based molecular compounds of all kinds (including complexes of the Group 12 elements), their structural, physical, kinetic, catalytic and biological properties, their use in chemical synthesis as well as their application in the widest context, their role in naturally occurring systems etc.
Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be of broad appeal to the readership and for this reason, papers which are confined to more specialised studies such as the measurement of solution phase equilibria or thermal decomposition studies, or papers which include extensive material on f-block elements, or papers dealing with non-molecular materials, will not normally be considered for publication. Work describing new ligands or coordination geometries must provide sufficient evidence for the confident assignment of structural formulae; this will usually take the form of one or more X-ray crystal structures.
