Electropolymerization of Cu-II-(N,N'-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-2-aminobenzylamine) on platinum electrode: Application to the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide
The complex of copper (II) with N,N'-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-2-aminobenzylamine (H2L) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, UV-vis. and FT-IR spectroscopy. The results showed that the tetradentate ligand coordinated to the Cu(II) ion through the azomethine nitrogen and phenolic oxygen atoms. The prepared complex [CuL] was electropolymerized on platinum electrode surface in a 0.1 mol dm(-3) solution of lithium perchlorate in acetonitrile by cyclic voltammetry between 0 and 1.6V vs. Ag/Ag+. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), conductance measurements, FT-IR and SEM were used to characterize polymer film of Cu(II) complex. The reduction of hydrogen peroxide on poly[CuL] has been investigated mainly in phosphate buffer medium (pH 7.2), between 0 and -0.8 V versus Ag/Ag+ at a scan rate 0.1 V s(-1). (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
