Physicochemical and electrochemical properties of hydroxyphenyl boronic acids(HPBAs) and their use in fluoride determinations were investigated. HPBAs were electropolymerized at pH 1.0-11.0 in 40-60 %(v/v) methanol-buffer. Differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) determinations of fluoride (with 1.0 × 10 À 5 -1.0 × 10 À 4 M linearity based on potential shift) using poly(HPBAs) glassy carbon electrodes(GCEs) have À 45.49 to + 34.40 % error range. Significance of raw DPV data for chemometric discrimination was investigated by principle component analysis. This is the first demonstration of fluoride determination with poly(HPBAs)GCEs and chemometric discrimination of pharmaceutical formulations so far. Due to the lack of experimental data in literature, current findings will make a contribution to literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
