Electrochemical studies were performed within a one-compartment three-electrode cell at room temperature. The modification was carried out only in nonaqueous media, while the electrochemical characterization was done in both aqueous and nonaqueous media. In the nonaqueous experiments, 0.1 m tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate in acetonitrile was used, whereas in the aqueous experiments, Britton-Robinson buffer solutions (pH = 2) and 0.1 m KCl solutions were. Surface modifi cations were performed by CV for all compounds. The presence of QR, 3HF, and BN at the GC electrode surface was characterized by CV, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, contact angle measurement, ellipsometry, and atomic force microscopy.Öğe Direct electron transfer from glucose oxidase immobilized on polyphenanthroline-modified glassy carbon electrode(ELSEVIER ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, 2011) Oztekin, Yasemin; Ramanaviciene, Almira; Yazicigil, Zafer; Solak, Ali Osman; Ramanavicius, ArunasThis study reports direct electron transfer (DET) from immobilized glucose oxidase (GOx) via grafted and electropolymerized 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate (PMH). The layer of poly-1,10-phenanthroline (PPMH) was gained via electrochemical deposition, which was used to create the PPMH-modified GC-electrode (PPMH/GC-electrode). Further, the GOx was immobilized on the PPMH/GC-electrode. The effect of surface-modification by the PPMH on the electron-transfer between enzyme and electrode-surface and some other electrochemical/analytical-parameters of newly designed enzymatic-electrode were evaluated. The PPMH/GC-electrode showed superior DET to/from flavine adenine dinucleotide cofactor of GOx, while some redox-compounds including ferrocene and K-3[Fe(CN)(6)] were completely electrochemically inactive on the PPMH/GC-electrode. It was also found that the resulting GOx/PPMH/GC-electrode functioned as a "direct response type" glucose-biosensor. The biosensor showed excellent selectivity towards glucose and demonstrated good operational-stability. According to our best knowledge, this study is the first scientific report on electrochemical-polymerization of PMH on the GC-electrode in non-aqueous media followed by its application in the design of glucose-biosensor.

İşbir; Solak, Ali OsmanGold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with about 6 nm size were produced and stabilized with mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) film to produce a monolayer protected cluster (MPC) of AuS(CH2)(2)COOH. 4-Aminothiophenol (ATP) molecules were introduced to the activated carboxylic acid ends of the film surrounding the AuNPs to produce AuS(CH2)(2)CONHPhSH MPC. These modified AuNPs were again self-assembled with Au@Ag core-shell bimetallic nanoparticles via the -SH groups to produce an organic bridge between Au and Au@Ag metallic nanoparticles. An unusually strong enhancement of the Raman signals was observed and assigned to the plasmon coupling between the AuNPs and Au@Ag NPs bridged assembly. Formation of AuS(CH2)(2)COOH and AuS(CH2)(2)CONHPhSH clusters and AuS(CH2)(2)CONHPhS(Au@Ag) assembly is confirmed by UV-Vis, reflection-absorption IR spectroscopy (RAIRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), as well as by TEM analysis. The SERS activity of the AuNPs and Au@Ag NPs was tested using the HS(CH2)(2)CONHPhSH molecule as a probe to compare the effectiveness of monometallic and bimetallic systems. SERS spectra show that Au@Ag bimetallic nanoparticles are very effective SERS-active substrates.Öğe Evaluation of Some Redox Mediators in the Design of Reagentless Amperometric Glucose Biosensor(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2014) Kausaite-Minkstimiene, Asta; Mazeiko, Viktor; Ramanaviciene, Almira; Oztekin, Yasemin; Solak, Ali Osman; Ramanavicius, ArunasThe influence of redox mediators (tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane complex (TTF-TCNQ), phenazine methosulfate (PMS), 5,6-diamino-1,10-phenonthroline (5,6-DAP), potassium ferrocyanide (K4[Fe(CN)6]), methylene blue (MB) and toluidine blue (TB)) on the response of amperometric glucose biosensor was investigated in this research. Graphite rod electrode (GRE) modified by adsorbed mediator and glucose oxidase (GOx) cross-linked with glutaraldehyde was served as working electrode. The highest amperometric signals were observed by using TTF and TTF-TCNQ as mediators. The impact of amount of immobilized GOx, an optimal pH region for operation, stability and reproducibility of the analytic signal of designed biosensor using these mediators were investigated and discussed.Öğe Fabrication of Calix[4]pyrrole Nanofilms at the Glassy Carbon Surface and Their Characterization by Spectroscopic, Optic and Electrochemical Methods(Elsevier Science Sa, 2010) Taner, Bilge; Özcan, Emine; Üstündağ, Zafer; Keskin, Selda; Solak, Ali Osman; Ekşi, Hasletmeso-Octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole (CP) and meso-heptaethylcalix[4]pyrrole-meso-4-aminophenyl (4APCP) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrodes were prepared by the electrochemical oxidation in acetonitrile solution. Binding of the calix[4]pyrroles with the glassy carbon surface was investigated that it is through the etheric linkage revealed from the reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). Surface films of CP and 4APCP were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. RAIRS and the contact angle measurements. The thicknesses of the films were determined by ellipsometry which confirmed that the film was multilayer and homogeneous over the surface. Ellipsometric measurements also provided that the CP and 4APCP film thicknesses were 2.49 nm and 4.58 nm for 6 CV cycle modification, corresponding to 66 mu F/cm(2) and 106 mu F/cm(2) capacitances obtained by CV. The wetting behavior was examined by contact angle measurements and found that the hydrophobicity of the GC-4APCP surface was higher than that of GC-CP, probably due to the aromatic meso substituent present in the former.Öğe The first example of calix[4]pyrrole functionalized vic-dioxime ligand: Synthesis, characterization, spectroscopic studies and redox properties of the mononuclear transition metal complexes(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2010) Taner, Bilge; Deveci, Pervin; Bereket, Soner; Solak, Ali Osman; Ozcan, EmineNovel calix[4] pyrrole bearing vic-dioxime ligand (LH2) of the general formula, R1R2C2N2O2H2 (where, R-1 = C6H5- and R-2 = C39H50N5-) has been synthesized by the reaction of anti-chlorophenylglyoxime with 3-aminophenylcalix[4] pyrrole at room temperature. The mononuclear Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes of this vic-dioxime ligand were prepared and their structures were confirmed by elemental analysis, FT-IR, TGA and magnetic susceptibility measurements; the HMBC, DEPT, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra of the LH2 ligand were also reported. The electrochemical property of the complexes was investigated in DMSO by cyclic voltammetry at 200 mV s (1) scan rate. The cyclic voltammetric measurements clearly indicated that Co(LH)(2)center dot 2H(2)O complex differs from the Ni(LH)(2) and Cu(LH)(2) complexes upon the exhibition of quasi-reversible one-electron transfer reduction process in the negative region instead of an irreversible process.

The key step in the synthesis is the reaction of N-phenylaza-18-crown-6 (PA18C6) with sodium nitrite. The compound, N-(4-nitrosophenyl)aza-18-crown-6 (NOPA18C6) could not be isolated purely from the reaction mixture, but a reduction of the residue with SnCl2 gave the desired aza-crown ether, N-(4-aminophenyl)aza-18-crown-6 (4APA18C6). To confirm its proposed structure detailed characterization techniques such as elemental analysis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, DEPT, HETCOR, HMBC and ESI mass-spectrometry were used. Due to the importance of azacrown compounds in the field of analytical chemistry, in the derivatization of dyes, chemical sensors and ionic extraction, as molecular receptors, grafting of 4APA18C6 on the glassy carbon (GC) surface has been investigated by amine oxidation to gain new insight into the modification area. The oxidation mechanism has been established, and the results are in accordance with the attachment of amines to a glassy carbon surface by cyclic voltammetry. The modification of 4APA18C6 molecules onto the glassy carbon surface was verified by cyclic voltammetry (CV), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) and ellipsometry. The film on the GC surface was formed according to the layer-by-layer mechanism and the ellipsometric thickness was obtained around 11.5 +/- 1.1 nm.
