Voltammetric Determination of Hg, Zn, and Pb Ions Using a PEDOT/NTA-Modified Electrode.

A novel electrochemical sensor for determining trace levels of Hg, Pb, and Zn ions in water using square wave voltammetry (SWV) is reported. The sensor is based on a platinum electrode (Pt) modified by poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and , -bis-(carboxymethyl)-l-lysine hydrate (NTA lysine) PEDOT/NTA. The modified electrode surface (PEDOT/NTA) was prepared via the introduction of the lysine-NTA group to a PEDOT/N-hydroxyphthalimide NHP electrode.

Crystal structure of diethyl 3,3'-{2,2'-(1E)-[1,4-phenyl-enebis(azan-1-yl-1-yl-idene)]bis-(methan-1-yl-1-yl-idene)bis-(1H-pyrrole-2,1-di-yl)}di-propano-ate.

The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, C26H30N4O4, is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene and pyrrole rings is 45.20 (11)°; the N atom bonded to the the benzene ring and the pyrrole N atom are in a syn conformation.

Crystal structure of diethyl 2,2'-[((1E,1'E)-{[(1R,4R)-cyclo-hexane-1,4-di-yl]bis-(aza-nylyl-idene)}bis-(methanylyl-idene))bis-(1H-pyrrole-2,1-di-yl)]di-acetate.

The whole mol-ecule of the title compound, C24H32N4O4, is generated by inversion symmetry. The cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation and the conformation about the C=N bonds is E. The pyrrole rings have an anti confirmation with respect to the cyclo-hexane moiety and the ethyl acetate groups have extended conformations.
