A hydrophobic ionic liquid composed of a cationic and anionic species having similar magnitudes of hydrophobicity and mobilities can work as a salt bridge separating two electrolyte solutions, that is, the sample solution and the inner solution of the reference electrode. A few examples of superiority of this ionic liquid salt bridge (ILSB) over the traditional salt bridges made of a concentrated aqueous KCl solution have been demonstrated. The present study is a further extension of the use of ILSB to voltammtery of the redox reactions of ferrocene/ferrocenium and cobaltocene/cobaltocenium couples in an ionic liquid, tributyl(2-methoxyethyl) phosphonium bis(pentafluoroethanesulfonyl) amide ([TBMOEP][C2C2N]), which is also used as the ILSB. The obtained mid-point potentials (Ems) are converted straightforwardly to those referred to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). A comparison of Em (SHE) values of the two redox couples in [TBMOEP][C2C2N] with the corresponding values in molecular solvents suggests that the environment given by [TBMOEP][C2C2N] to the two redox reactions is macroscopically similar to that of methanol.

Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society. Multinary semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) that have less toxicity and show near-infrared light responsivity have attracted much attention for in vivo bioimaging. In this study, we controlled the optical properties of Ag-In-Se QDs by modulating the nonstoichiometry and the degree of Ga3+ doping. Precise tuning of the Ag/In ratio of Ag-In-Se QDs enabled a sharp band-edge emission to emerge without broad defect-site emission. Ga3+ doping into Ag-In-Se (AIGSe) QDs enlarged their energy gap, resulting in a blue shift of the band-edge PL peak from from 890 to 630 nm. The band-edge PL intensity was remarkably enlarged by surface coating with a thin GaSx shell followed by treatment with trioctylphosphine, the highest PL yield being 38% for the PL peak at 800 nm. Thus-obtained QDs were successfully used as near-IR PL probes for three-dimensional in vivo bioimaging in which the wavelengths of excitation and detection lights could be selected in the first biological window, and then the signals were clearly detected from AIGSe@GaSx core-shell QDs injected into biological tissues by ca. 5 mm in depth.

© 2017 American Chemical Society. An electrochemical molecular sensor based on a new principle is reported. Nereistoxin (NRT, 4-N,N-dimethylamino-1,2-dithiolane), a naturally occurring neurotoxin (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist), was adsorbed on an Au electrode via Au-S covalent bonding and accelerated the electron transfer between the electrode and the marker, ferricyanide anion. The contrast between the electrochemical responses obtained with the bare and NRT-modified Au electrodes was more pronounced at a low ionic strength of the supporting electrolyte, KCl. In the presence of 1 mM KCl, almost a 0/1 contrast between the signals was obtained through electrostatic interaction between the protonated tertiary amino group of NRT and the anionic ferricyanide ion. No current was observed with an electrode modified with mercaptopropionic acid. An unusually low ionic strength thickened the electric double layer to the degree where current was not observed with the bare electrode. The effect of the electrostatic concentration of the marker ion becomes obvious under such conditions. Commercially available NRT-related pesticides such as Cartap and Bensultap were also detected using the same format after pretreatments by hydrolysis/reduction. The present sensing method was successfully applied to human serum with satisfactory sensitivity.

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Electrostatic interactions between proteins are key factors that govern the association and reaction rate. We spectroscopically determine the second-order reaction rate constant (k) of electron transfer from [NiFe] hydrogenase (H2ase) to cytochrome (cyt) c3 at various ionic strengths (I). The k value decreases with I. To analyze the results, we develop a semi-analytical formula for I dependence of k based on the assumptions that molecules are spherical and the reaction proceeds via a transition state. Fitting of the formula to the experimental data reveals that the interaction occurs in limited regions with opposite charges and with radii much smaller than those estimated from crystal structures. This suggests that local charges in H2ase and cyt c3 play important roles in the reaction. Although the crystallographic data indicate a positive electrostatic potential over almost the entire surface of the proteins, there exists a small region with negative potential on H2ase at which the electron transfer from H2ase to cyt c3 may occur. This local negative potential region is identical to the hypothetical interaction sphere predicted by the analysis. Furthermore, I dependence of k is predicted by the Adaptive Poisson–Boltzmann Solver considering all charges of the amino acids in the proteins and the configuration of H2ase/cyt c3 complex. The calculation reproduces the experimental results except at extremely low I. These results indicate that the stabilization derived from the local electrostatic interaction in the H2ase/cyt c3 complex overcomes the destabilization derived from the electrostatic repulsion of the overall positive charge of both proteins.

Nanoparticulate agents for magnetic drug delivery systems (DDSs) have extensive applications in targeted drug delivery, contrast imaging and therapeutics. However, no simple synthetic method for magnetic DDS agents has been developed without the need to add magnetic nanoparticles. Here, we describe the one-step fabrication of 'all-in-one' magneto-assemblies using an 'inorganic-metal-salt-free' method, involving spontaneous self-assembly of the water-insoluble prodrug μ-oxo-bis(N,N0-ethylenebis (salicylideniminato)iron) [Fe(salen)] (magnetic core) with polypyrrole (PPy)-b-polycaprolactone (PCL) smart diblock copolymers. In the system, PCL serves as a heat-responsive core scaffold, and PPy serves as an electronic core-size controller and pH-responsive shell. This core-shell nanocomposite has a high-loading capacity (∼90%), and the core size is tunable by incorporating albumin or gum Arabic as bio-coating agents, which also provide colloidal stability, biocompatibility and thermo-stability. Fe(salen), which has intrinsic antitumor activity, also has ubiquitous magnetic properties, which are dramatically enhanced in these molecular assemblies with magnetic coupling. Moreover, these multifunctional nanoassemblies can be delivered magnetically, can serve as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, can generate magneto-hyperthermal effects and can enable magnetic field-triggered release of Fe(salen) molecules under acidic conditions.

© 2016 Elsevier B.V. A reversible surface-confined system for potentiometric coulometry studies was fabricated by the deposition of a liquid film on an electrode surface, and the system was used to detect charge accumulation due to the peroxidase (POD)-catalyzed reduction of H2O2. The components of the liquid film were 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(nonafluorobutanesulfonyl)imide as the electrolyte, dibutyl phthalate as the medium, and ferrocene as the redox-active mediator. When the thickness of the liquid film was less than that of the diffusion layer in the minimum potential step of the apparatus, a symmetric voltammogram, according to the Nernst equation, was recorded. The reduction of H2O2 by POD was carried out on the liquid-film-modified electrode and studied by potentiometric coulometry. The addition of H2O2 shifts the electrode potential positively, due to the oxidation of ferrocene. The change in the potential is in agreement with the Nernst equation. Thus, potentiometric coulometry, carried out on the liquid-film-modified electrode, enables the determination of the substrate without the requirement of a calibration curve.

© 2016 The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry. The use of a moderately hydrophobic ionic liquid for a salt bridge allows us to accurately measure pH of low ionic strength aqueous solutions, which was not possible by use of a salt bridge based on a concentrated aqueous potassium chloride solution (KClSB). When a sample solution does not contain hydrophobic ions, the ionic liquid salt bridge is promising also in pH measurements of high ionic-strength samples. That ionic liquid salt bridge enables us to measure the single-ion activities of not only hydrogen ions, but also other ionic species gives new perspectives in studying electrolyte solutions, not limited by the traditional framework set by the KClSB.

© 2016 American Chemical Society. To understand electrostatic interactions in biomolecules, the bimolecular rate constants (k) between redox enzymes and charged substrates (in this study, redox mediators in the electrode reaction) were evaluated at various ionic strengths (I) for the mediated bioelectrocatalytic reaction. The k value between bilirubin oxidase (BOD) and positively charged mediators increased with I, while that between BOD and negatively charged mediators decreased with I. The opposite trend was observed for the reaction of glucose oxidase (GOD). In the case of noncharged mediators, the k value was independent of I for both BOD and GOD. These results reflect the electrostatic interactions between the enzymes and the mediators. Furthermore, we estimated k/k° (k° being the thermodynamic rate constant) by numerical simulation (finite element method) based on the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation. By considering the charges of individual atoms involved in the amino acids around the substrate binding sites in the enzymes, the simulated k/k° values well reproduced the experimental data. In conclusion, k/k° can be predicted by PB-based simulation as long as the crystal structure of the enzyme and the substrate binding site are known. (Graph Presented).
