The electrochemical behavior of 4-(azulen-1-yl)-2,6-bis((E)-2-(thiophen-2-yl)vinyl) pyrylium perchlorate (L) was studied by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. The electrochemical polymerization of L was studied. Modified electrodes covered by polyL films were obtained by successive scanning or by controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) at different charges and potentials. The new electrodes obtained by CPE were applied for sensing the following heavy metals ions: Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), Hg(II). The best results have been registered for Pb(II) ion with a detection limit of 10-8 M.
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.
