The electrochemical oxidation of cyclic alkyl disulfide derivatives of isocyanuric acid

Target-Specific Imaging of Transmembrane Receptors Using Quinonyl Glycosides Functionalized Quantum Dots

“…We have demonstrated in a previous study that an electrochemical deprotection/oxidation strategy offers a practical route to obtaining sulfhydryl benzoquinonyl C -glycosides from sulfhydryl aryl C -glycosides confined on a gold surface . Continuing these efforts, in this work we further employed the tactic to acquire the desired quinonyl glycosides at a carbon electrode (Supporting Information, Figure S1). − As shown in Figure , we established a model system for the target-specific recognition, in which CdSe/ZnS QDs are functionalized with quinonyl C -glycoside-tailed disulfides ( Q-Glc or Q-Gal ), quinone-tailed disulfide ( Q ) and sulfhydryl dimethoxybenzene C -galactoside ( Ph-Gal ) were used as negative controls. The designed quinonyl glycosides are envisioned to have dual functions: the quinone moiety of the system serves as a quencher of the QDs and the glycoside moiety as a biospecific ligand for targeting the receptors.…”

Adsorption behaviors of heavy metal ions onto electrochemically oxidized activated carbon fibers

“…Generally, the electrochemical oxidation treatment of carbon in the electrolytes used can produce microstructure and surface changes of the carbon surfaces. The advantage of electrochemical oxidation treatment is obtaining a relatively large number of oxygen-containing functional groups on ACF surfaces [4].…”
