Abstract
We present a highly sensitive and selective electrode of laser-induced graphene modified with poly(phenol red) (P(PhR)@LIG) for measuring zinc nutrition in rice grains using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). The physicochemical properties of P(PhR)@LIG were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The modified electrode demonstrated an amplified anodic stripping response of Zn2+ due to the electropolymerization of P(PhR), which enhanced analyte adsorption during the accumulation step of SWASV. Under optimized parameters, the developed sensor provided a linear range from 30 to 3000 μg L-1 with a detection limit of 14.5 μg L-1. The proposed electrode demonstrated good reproducibility and good anti-interference properties. The sensor detected zinc nutrition in rice grain samples with good accuracy and the results were consistent with the standard ICP-OES method.

Extended sawhorse waveform for stable zinc detection with fast-scan cyclic voltammetry. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 413:6727-6735. [PMID: 34268588 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-021-03529-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Revised: 07/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Zinc (Zn(II)) is a divalent cation involved in regulating intracellular signal transduction and gene expression through transcription factor activity, and can act as a metal neurotransmitter by modulating synaptic activity and neuronal plasticity. Previous research has demonstrated spatial heterogeneity of Zn(II) in the brain, has estimated extracellular concentrations of Zn(II) across various brain regions, and has measured rapid intracellular changes in Zn(II) concentration during glutamate flux. Despite this work, quantification of rapid extracellular Zn(II) release from neurons, on a millisecond time scale, in real time has remained difficult with existing technologies. Here, we have developed an electrochemical waveform, called the "extended sawhorse waveform (ESW)," for fast-scan cyclic voltammetry detection at carbon-fiber microelectrodes which enabled rapid and stable Zn(II) monitoring over time. This waveform was developed to overcome existing challenges in monitoring metallotransmitters stably over time electrochemically by introducing a brief cleaning step to facilitate rapid cleaning of the electrode surface in between scans. The ESW scans from 0.5 V down to -1.0 V, up to 1.45 V for 3 ms (cleaning step), and back to 0.5 V at a scan rate of 400 V/s. Repeated introductions of Zn(II) at the electrode using a traditional waveform cause plating which ultimately deteriorates the sensitivity over time; however, using the ESW, significant improvements in stability were observed. Overall, we provide a unique approach to monitor and quantitate rapid Zn(II) signaling in the brain at carbon electrodes which will impact our ability to advance fundamental knowledge of Zn(II) involvement in extracellular signaling pathways in the brain.

Effect of charge transfer and structural rigidity on divergent luminescence response of a metal organic framework towards different metal ions: luminescence lifetime decay experiments and DFT calculations. Photochem Photobiol Sci 2019; 18:1110-1121.

Abstract
We have thoroughly studied the luminescence behaviour of a cadmium based MOF, [Cd(C12N2H8)(C7N1O4H3)] {C12N2H8 = 1,10-phenanthroline, C7N1O4H3 = 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylate}, 1. Both steady-state and time-resolved luminescence spectroscopic experiments were performed to understand the dissimilar responses of compound 1 towards different metal ions in aqueous medium. Upon excitation at 280 nm, compound 1 showed a luminescence spectrum centered at 365 nm, which exhibited a three-fold turn-on in the presence of a trace amount of Zn2+ in aqueous solution, whereas in the presence of Co2+, Hg2+, Ni2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+ the luminescence of compound 1 got largely quenched. Compound 1 did not show any response in the presence of other common metal ions such as K+, Mg2+, Na+, Mn2+, and Cr3+. By analysing all the experimental results, we successfully explained the versatile luminescence behaviour of compound 1. The turn-on of luminescence in the presence of Zn2+ ions was due to coordination bond formation and enhancement of the rigidity of compound 1 which resulted in the reduction of non-radiative decay processes to a large extent. The quenching of luminescence in the presence of transition metal ions was found to be static in nature, and was due to the possibility of ligand to metal charge transfer using the vacant d-orbital of the metal ions. In the case of Hg2+ which is a closed cell heavy metal ion, the quenching of luminescence was also static in nature and was due to a two-way charge transfer mechanism. We have also performed density functional theory calculations and obtained supportive results for the proposed mechanisms of luminescence turn-on and quenching. Moreover, compound 1 could be established as a selective and efficient sensor of Zn2+ in aqueous solution even in the presence of Cd2+ and other metal ions.
