- Description
- The formation of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) composites with tantalum phthalocyanines (TaPc) complexes {1a and 1b (Figure 1)} is reported. The TaPc-AuNPs conjugates were characterised by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy. The AFM analyses show that conjugates of TaPc with AuNPs are more aggregated when compared to AuNPs alone. The conjugates and TaPc complexes were immobilized on a gold electrode by drop and dry method and these were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The charge transfer behaviour of AuNPs was enhanced in the presence of TaPc complexes. All the modified electrodes showed electrocatalytic oxidation of bisphenol A. The limits of detection for complexes 1a and 1b were 4.78×10−10 and 2.76×10−10 mol L−1, respectively.
