Experimental and theoretical study on the 1:1 supramolecular complexes of formamide with adrenaline.
The electron transfer properties were investigated for supramolecular complexes of formamide (FA) with adrenaline (Ad) at graphite electrode and paraffine soaked graphite electrode using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The experimental results show that FA affected the electron transfer properties of Ad. The formed supramolecular complexes by hydrogen bond (H-bond) interaction between FA and Ad slowed down the diffusion ability of adrenaline, which makes it hard to donate electron and be oxidized. The H-bond interaction energies calculation for the supramolecular complexes of FA with Ad at MP2/6-311+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level have also been performed. The calculational results confirm the experimental fact that FA can form stable supramolecular complexes with Ad.
