Differential pulse voltammetric determination of P(V) following adsorptive accumulation of alpha-[PMo(12)O(40)](3-) on a polypyrrole-modified glassy carbon electrode.
On the basis of the formation and pre-concentration of an alpha-Keggin-type [PMo(12)O(40)](3-) complex, a novel voltammetric method was developed for the determination of trace levels of P(V). The alpha-[PMo(12)O(40)](3-) complex was formed by heating a 5x10(-4) M Mo(VI)-0.2 M HCl-40% (v/v) CH(3)CN system containing a trace amount of P(V) at 70 degrees C for 30 min. During the electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole in the alpha-[PMo(12)O(40)](3-) solution, the alpha-[PMo(12)O(40)](3-) complex was accumulated into the polypyrrole film on a glassy carbon electrode. The differential pulse voltammetric peak current due to the alpha-[PMo(12)O(40)](3-) complex incorporated in the polypyrrole film was linearly dependent on the P(V) concentration in the range of 5x10(-9)-5x10(-7) M; a detection limit of 2x10(-9) M was achieved.
STUDY OF A 1/12 PHOSPHOMOLYBDIC ANION DOPED POLYPYRROLE FILM ELECTRODE AND ITS CATALYSIS
A phosphomolybdic anion doped polypyrrole (PMo12O403- + PPy) film electrode has been prepared by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole in an aqueous solution of 0.5 mol l-1 H2SO4 or 0.5 mol l-1 KNO3 containing PMo12O403- anions, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and in-situ UV-visible spectroelectrochemical methods. The film electrode obtained is very stable upon potential cycling in acidic solution, but not in neutral solution. The catalytic effect of the film electrode on the reduction of ClO3- and BrO3- was studied.
Catalytic Effects of Chlorate Ions on the Electrode Reaction Processes of 12-Molybdophosphate and 12-Molybdosilicate
The third cathodic waves corresponding to the reduction processes from the four-electron to the six-electron reduction products of both 12-molybdophosphate and 12-molybdosilicate are catalytic in nature in the presence of chlorate ions. The six-electron reduction product of 12-molybdophosphate is oxidized by chlorate ions more rapidly than that of 12-molybdosilicate.
