Arsenic contamination commonly originates from polluted soil and groundwater, entering the food chain and posing chronic toxicity to humans and animals. Leaching from polluted soil and groundwater, it enters the food chain hence there is need for cost-effective, time-sensitive methods to detect arsenic in food samples. In this work an electrochemical sensor was developed using graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) decorated zirconium and nitrogen doped graphitic carbon nitride (Zr-N-GCN) nanocomposite for detection of As<sup>3+</sup> ions in tap water and juice samples.

The FTIR observations indicate that the C<img>N frameworks in GCN remain robust and that Zr<img>O bonds are developing in Zr-N-GCN. These alterations to the structure suggest that the Zr-N-GCN material was created successfully.

Developing efficient methods for their distinguishment is crucial for pharmaceutical quality control. Here, we presented a novel approach using a CTT (Chlorite-Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide-Tetrathionate) clock reaction system for kinetic chiral enantiomer recognition. DOPA enantiomers were selected for this purpose, in which L-DOPA is therapeutic efficacy in treating Parkinson's disease by precursoring dopamine while D-DOPA lacks such a function. By introducing equal amounts of L-DOPA and D-DOPA into the CTT clock system, we observed a more prolonged induction period for L-DOPA compared to D-DOPA, enabling their quick differentiation. Moreover, a linear relationship between the induction period and the concentration (1.190 × 10<sup>−6</sup> mol/L to 4.5238 × 10<sup>−6</sup> mol/L) of L-DOPA or D-DOPA allowed quantitative detection of L-DOPA or D-DOPA samples. This method could also be applied to analyze varying concentration ratios of L-DOPA and D-DOPA mixtures at a fixed total concentration. Study on mechanism indicates that both L-DOPA and D-DOPA react with ClO<sub>2</sub>· radical to finally generate DHICA through oxidation, with their kinetic disparities evident during this process. These kinetic disparities between L-DOPA and D-DOPA oxidation arises from stereospecific hydrogen-bonding interactions in the cyclodopa intermediate. The weaker hydrogen bond in L-DOPA-derived cyclodopa likely facilitates its cleavage during oxidation, thereby accounting for the faster reaction kinetics observed in the clock system compared to D-DOPA. This makes L-DOPA exhibit more fast consumption of chlorine dioxide than D-DOPA, and resulting larger the extension in the induction period with L-DOPA than that with D-DOPA. Such a method coupling CCT clock demonstrates its versatility and potential for broader applications in chiral drug analysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry","volume":"996 ","pages":"Article 119432"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144917481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
