title: Electrochemical behavior of [ReI(DMPE)3]+, where DMPE = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane, at perfluorosulfonated ionomer-modified electrodes.
abstract: The perfluorosulfonated ionomer Nafion shows potential utility as a polymer film to enhance the electrochemical detection of [ReI(DMPE)3]+, where DMPE = 1,2-bis-(dimethylphosphino)ethane. [ReI(DMPE)3]+, a nonradioactive radiopharmaceutical analog for heart imaging, partitions strongly into Nafion films on glassy carbon. Well-defined, chemically reversible cyclic voltammograms are obtained for the [ReI(DMPE)3]+/[ReII(DMPE)3]2+ couple with Eo' shifted positively by 60 mV relative to its value on bare glassy carbon. [ReI(DMPE)3]+ partitions into Nafion more strongly than the oxidized form, [ReII-(DMPE)3]2+. The detection limit for [ReI(DMPE)3]+ by cyclic voltammetry was improved by 2-3 orders of magnitude by the Nafion film. Differential pulse voltammetry for oxidation of [ReI(DMPE)3]+ at the Nafion-modified electrode has a detection limit of 2.5 x 10(-9) M compared to 1.0 x 10(-7) M at the bare electrode. A preconcentration factor of 1 x 10(6) for partitioning of [ReI(DMPE)3]+ from 0.05 M NaCl into Nafion on a glassy carbon electrode was measured.
