Sažetak
The electrochemical sensing potential of two isostructural one-dimensional nickel(II) and cobalt(II) coordination polymers with 4, 4′-bipyridine (4, 4′-bpy) and 6-oxonicotinate (6-Onic), namely, {;[Ni(4, 4′-bpy)(H2O)4](6-Onic)2×2H2O};n and {;[Co(4, 4′-bpy)(H2O)4](6-Onic)2×2H2O};n, was investigated along with the polymers’ potential applications in the catalytic oxidation of methanol. The highly oxidative species from redox pairs Ni(II)/Ni(III) and Co(II)/Co(III) in these compounds represent catalytically active centres for oxidation of small molecules. A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a Ni polymer showed stability and reproducibility in 0.1 M NaOH, while the oxidation current inc 2reased with the increasing methanol concentration, suggesting that the Ni-polymer-modified electrode possess good sensing ability with respect to methanol. The GC electrode modified with the Co polymer is not reproducible and cannot be used for electroanalytical purposes under these experimental conditions. The GC electrode modified with the Ni polymer was successfully applied in the determination of methanol. This method showed favourable linear concentration dependence with a good sensitivity of 2.65 and 11.0 mA mM−1, a wide concentration range (0.001–4 mM), and a detection limit of 0.8 μM, which indicates its excellent application potential for methanol oxidation and thus its determination.
