Alkylated ferrocene sulfonate compounds, 1,1'-dimethyl ferrocene sulfonate, t-butyl ferrocene sulfonate, ethyl ferrocene sulfonate, and n-butyl ferrocene sulfonate are explored for the electrocatalytic detection of sulfide at a boron-doped diamond electrode. Voltammetric interrogation of the ferrocene sulfonate compounds is investigated to determine oxidizing potentials, diffusion coefficients and responses towards sulfide. In the latter case, measurement of the electrocatalytic rate constants by means of chronoamperometry indicates a high electrocatalytic activity (ca. 10 3 M À1 s
À1) towards sulfide.
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.
