Al2O3 coated with 3-n-propyl-1-azonia-4-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane silsesquioxane chloride and its use for immobilization of cobalt(II) tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine in oxalic acid electrooxidation
A water-soluble polymer prepared by sol-gel process, 3-n-propyl-1-azonia-4-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane silsesquioxane chloride, was adsorbed on alumina surface. This polymer-coated alumina was able to effectively immobilize cobalt(II) tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine complexes as counter ions. Cobalt phthalocyanine immobilized in this way is well and tightly adsorbed on Al2O3/3-n-propyl-1-azonia-4-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane silsesquioxane chloride surface. Furthermore, when incorporated to a carbon paste electrode showed a good electrocatalytic response toward the acid oxalic oxidation, making it a suitable electrode material. A linear relationship (r = 0.998) between the current responses obtained by chronoamperometric measurements and the oxalic acid concentration in the range of 7.4 × 10-5 - 9.1 × 10-4 mol L-1 was observed. A detection limit of 18 µmol L-1 was also determined.
