Graphene oxide (GO) was modified with the cobalt(II) and zinc(II) complexes (CoTFPP and ZnTFPP) of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin in order to improve the electrocatalytic activity of GO towards catechol (CC) and hydroquinone (HQ). It is found that the CoTFPP-modified GO on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) displays the highest electrocatalytic activity. The response to CC (at 0.

A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized using halloysite nanotubes (HNT) as matrix, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and methyl propyl acid (MAA) as functional monomers, and 2,4,6-TCP as template molecule by graft copolymerization. Infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the as-synthesized imprinted polymer. The selective recognizability of the MIP towards four phenolic analogs were determined and the recognition coefficients for 2,4,6-TCP, 2,6-DCP, 4-CP and phenol were found to be 2.

This study demonstrates a new approach for the selective recognition of chiral mandelic acid by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) using L-cysteine as the selector. The modification of L-cysteine on the QCM sensor was identified using resonant frequency detection, the contact angle, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. The chiral recognizability of L- and D-MA on the L-cysteine-modified surface was examined using QCM detection integrated with a vapor diffused molecular assembly reaction technique.

This study presents a new approach for the highly selective recognition of chiral L/D-mandelic acid (MA) using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) with L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) as the selector. The immobilization of L-Phe on the gold surface of the QCM sensor was performed using a four steps layer-by-layer assembling procedure. The modification of the gold surface of the QCM sensor after each modification step was verified by the cyclic voltammetry, contact angle, FTIR, and QCM detection.

This study presents a new method for the highly selective recognition of chiral mandelic acid (MA) using L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) as the selector. The proposed method is based on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) detection, integrated with a vapor diffused molecular assembly (VDMA) reaction technique. The construction of the L-Phe-modified QCM sensor involved a two-step assembly procedure.

Chiral recognition is considered to be the most important, fundamental basis in the development of separation technology for chiral isomers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields. However, the selective detection of individual enantiomers is still one of the most difficult analytical tasks because of the close similarity of the molecular configurations between chiral isomers. This study presents a versatile vapor-diffused molecular assembly (VDMA) reaction approach for chiral recognition by the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM).
