Title Electrochemical characterization of cerium salen complex Encapsulated in dealuminated zeolite
Type Presentation
Keywords Zeolite” Salen” Encapsulation” Cyclic voltammetry” Modified electrode.
Abstract Ce(Salen) complexes have been entrapped in the supercages of zeolite Y and the redox properties of thesezeolite-encapsulated complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry with graphite electrodeconfiguration in buffer phosphate solution.Two major observations are reported: (i) the electrochemical behavior of the zeolite-occluded complexes arises intwo different potential ranges, which can be related to different complex configurations and/or environment and (ii) the highstability of the faradaic responses leads to the conclusion that a pure extra-zeolite electron transfer mechanism in whichion-exchange with electrolyte cations frees the zeolite-occluded complexes to diffuse away from the working electrode and into solution cannot be operative
