Generation of hydroxyl radicals from reactions between a dimethoxyhydroquinone and iron oxide nanoparticles

Abstract: The hydroxyl radical (·OH) is a powerful oxidant that is produced in a wide range of environments via the Fenton reaction (Fe2+  + H2O2 → Fe3+  + ·OH + OH-). The reactants are formed from the reduction of Fe3+ and O2, which may be promoted by organic reductants, such as hydroquinones. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent of ·OH formation in reactions between 2,6-dimethoxyhydroquinone (2,6-DMHQ) and iron oxide nanoparticles. We further compared the reactivities of ferrihydrite and goethite and in… Show more

“…Therefore, this provides another reason why the complex shows improved antibacterial activity reported and discussed in the following sections. 44 46 In this regard, it should however be mentioned (as correctly pointed out by one reviewer while reviewing this manuscript) that although we consider formation of the hydroxyl radical (HO • ) as logically formed from H 2 O 2 and use it to explain the better performance of the complex in comparison to curcumin, it would have been nice had we shown its actual formation by the deoxyribose assay, which, for more than one reason, could not be included in our study. 47 , 48 …”

“…The oxygen vacancy peak indicates the defects in the material, which are the reaction sites for photoelectrochemical catalyzing water oxidation. The hydroxyl group or the OH radical on the surface can accelerate water oxidation kinetics [30–32] . The Ti 2p spectrum shows Ti 2p 2/3 and Ti 2p 1/2 peaks respectively at 458.2 and 463.7 eV, indicating the alloy‐bonding between the Ti and O for Mg−Fe 2 O 3 /Ti−Fe 2 O 3 electrode, no the formation of TiO 2 since there is no peak fitting the standard pattern for TiO 2 the XRD pattern (Figure 2).…”

“…Goethite was synthesized as described previously (59). The goethite had a needle shape with an estimated width of 10 to 20 nm and an estimated length of several hundred nanometers (60). The specific surface area was estimated to be 62 m 2 g −1 using the N 2 Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method (61).…”
