title: Study on anion electrochemical recognition based on a novel ferrocenyl compound with multiple binding sites.
abstract: A novel ferrocenyl anion receptor N, N, N, N-(dimethyl, ethyl, ferrocenecarboxylic amidodimethylene) ammonium fluoborate 2 with multiple binding sites was synthesized. Its anion recognition behaviors were investigated by CV, 1H NMR and UV-vis spectrum. It was found that the combination of two interactions enforced the anion binding ability and the binding selectivity of 2 to phosphate anion. The effects of scan rate on the CV curves of 2 with phosphate were also investigated. In different scan rate, the CV curves kept stable which indicated the strong binding between 2 and phosphate. According to relationships of peak potential, peak currents and scan rate of 2 binding with phosphate, the kinetic parameters of electrode process such as diffusion coefficient Dapp, surface transfer coefficient alphan alpha, and standard rate constant k0 were calculated.
