In this study, surfactant effects on the spectroscopic and electrochemical behavior of 5-Methyl-4-(2thiazolylazo)-resorcinol were studied in an aqueous solution at neutral pH. Dodecylpyridinium chloride (DDPC), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) (cationic), Triton X100, Tween 20 (nonionic), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (anionic), were used in investigation. A large bathochromic shift of absorption maxima of the dye was observed upon the addition of surfactant. Electrochemical reduction of the dye was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The adsorption-controlled reduction reaction of the dye changed to a semireversible diffusion-controlled reduction peak at -0.43 V by the addition of CPC. Depending on the CPC concentration in the dye solution, the peak potential of the electrode reaction shifted about 120 mV in the cathodic direction and the peak current decreased up to ten times. These changes were interpreted depending on the type and concentration of surfactant present in the solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
