- Description
- This work investigates the use of manganese phthalocyanines (MnPcs) in the electrochemical detection of nitrite. These are two Schiff base derivatives: tetrakis 4-(4-thio-thiophene-2-ylmethanamino) phthalocyaninato Mn(III)Cl (2) and tetrakis 4-(3-(pyrrolidine-1-yl)propan-1-amino)phthalocyaninato Mn(III)Cl (3) and one aldehyde: tetrakis(4-formylphenoxy)phthalocyaninato Mn(III)Cl (1). The MnPc complexes were adsorbed onto the glassy carbon electrode surface using the drop-dry method and used as electrocatalysts to detect nitrite. Nitrite oxidation peak potentials obtained using cyclic voltammetry ranged between 0.70 and 0.84 V. Detection limits as low as 0.16 µM and sensitivity values as high as 276 µMmM−1 were obtained through the use of chronoamperometry. The Schiff base MnPcs 2 and 3 exhibited better nitrite detection properties (in terms of limit of detection and sensitivity) than their aldehyde precursor (1).
