This paper describes the preparation, characterization and electroanalytical application of a composite consisting of titanium phosphate modified with nickel hexacyanoferrate. Titanium phosphate (TiPh) was formed from the reaction of titanium isopropoxide with H 3 PO 4 and deionized water. Next, the reaction of TiPh was performed with a metal ion (Ni +2 ) and potassium Hexacyanoferrate, designated as TiPhNIHCF. Spectroscopic techniques such as vibrational spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance and cyclic voltammetry were used to characterize the TiPh and TiPhNiHCF. The graphite paste electrode containing TiPhNiHCF exhibited a redox couple with average potential (E  ') of 0.61V vs Ag/AgCl (KNO 3 1.0 mol L -1 ; v = 20 mV s -1 ) attributed to redox process Fe II (CN) 6 /Fe III (CN) 6 . The redox couple presents a sensitive response for determining dipyrone. The system showed a detection limit of 3.75 x 10 -4 mol L -1 and standard deviation of 1.8 % for n = 3, with an amperometric sensitivity of 34.84 mA / mol L -1 . The modified electrode was electrochemically stable and showed good reproducibility.www.ccsenet.org/ijc

This paper describes the preparation of a nanostructured silsesquioxane, the cloropropilsilsesquioxano (S) that was organofunctionalised with the 4-amino-5-4(pyridyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (APTT), the material obtained of the functionalization was described as SA. The material SA was characterized by spectroscopy in the region of infrared (FTIR). After proper characterization, were carried studies on adsorption of metallic ions such as Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ and Cd 2+ in the active sites of SA. Different methods were studied in the adsorption of metal ions above: aqueous, ethanol 42% and ethanol 99%, determining the adsorption equilibrium time, which for both means and metals the maximum time averaged 35 minutes. After determining the adsorption equilibrium time of metal ions in each system, we determined the specific sorption capacity (Nf max ) through adsorption isotherms. The results suggest that the sorption of metal ions on DPPIPS occurs mainly by surface complexation and a Langmuir model allowed describing the sorption of the metal ions on SA. The excellent adsorptive capacity made possible the development of a method for determination of metal ions at trace level in real samples such as waste water, ethanol fuel and alcoholics beverages.

The chloropropyl silica gel was modified with octa(3-aminopropyl)octasilsesquioxane and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), spectroscopies, and surface and area porosity. The specific sorption capacity of metallic ions (Cu2+and Ni2+) increases in the following solvent order: water<ethanol 42%<ethanol<ketone. The high values of the constant (K) in the order of 103 L mol−1suggested the high adsorbent capacity of the modified silica (SGAPC) for Cu2+and Ni2+. SGAPC was applied to a separation column and shows recoveries of around 100% of copper in samples of sugar cane spirit, vodka, ginger brandy, and ethanol fuel.

This paper describes the interaction of a octa (3-chloropropyl)octasilsesquioxane (SS) functionalized with imidazole (SSI) groups, and its subsequent reaction with silver (AgSSI) and hexacyanoferrate (III) (AgHSSI). The materials SS, SSI were characterized by infrared (FTIR); solid state 13 C and 29 Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The AgSSI and AgHSSI were characterized by electronic (Uv-Vis) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The AgHSSI was incorporated into a graphite paste electrode and the electrochemical studies were conducted with cyclic voltammetry. The AgSSI system was studied first, followed by the AgHSSI. The spectroscopic studies reveals that preparation was conducted with success.
