- Description
- In this study, tetra-(4-propargyloxy)phenoxy phthalocyanines (MTPrOPhOPc) were covalently immobilized as thin films onto gold surfaces via click reaction. The gold electrode surfaces were pre-functionalized with phenylazide (Au-PAz) thin film using in-situ diazonium generation followed by electrografting. Copper (I) catalyzed alkynyl-azide cycloaddition (CuCAAC) reaction was used to covalently immobilize the MTPrOPhOPcs onto the gold electrode surfaces to form Au-PAz-MTPrOPhOPc. The MTPrOPhOPcs were further studied for their electrocatalytic and electroanalytical properties towards the detection of hydrogen peroxide. Au-PAz-MTPrOPhOPc exhibited good reproducibility and stability in various electrolyte conditions. Electrochemical and spectroscopic surface characterization of the functionalized gold electrode surfaces confirmed the presence of the phenylazide and MTPrOPhOPc thin monolayer films. The excellent electroanalysis of hydrogen peroxide with the limit of detection (LoD) and limit of quantification (LoQ) in the μM range was obtained. The electrocatalytic reduction peaks for H2O2 were observed at −0.37 V for Au-PAz-Mn(OAc)TPrOPhOPc and −0.31 V for Au-PAz-CoTPrOPhOPc when Ag|AgCl pseudo-reference electrode was used. The Au-PAz-Mn(OAc)TPrOPhOPc and Au-PAz-CoTPrOPhOPc gold electrode surfaces showed good sensitivity and reproducibility towards the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solution.
