Description
Summary:In the current study, the synthesis of tetra-4-(2-methoxyphenoxy) carboxamide cobalt­(II) amide-bridged phthalocyanine (CoTMePhCAPc) is described, as well as its characterization by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV–visible, and mass spectroscopy; powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD); thermogravimetric analysis (TGA); scanning electron microscopy (SEM); and electrochemistry. Sensing of nitrite (NO2 –) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) simultaneously was done on CoTMePhCAPc with the composite multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-modified glassy carbon electrode (CoTMePhCAPc/MWCNT/GCE) in the range of linear absorption (NO2 – and H2O2: CV 50–750, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) 50–750, CA 50–500 nmol L–1), lower detection limit (NO2 – and H2O2: CV 10.5 and 12.5, DPV 10.5 and 11.2, CA 6.0 and 5.5 nmol L–1), and sensitivity (NO2 – and H2O2: CV 0.379 and 0.529, DPV 0.043 and 0.049, CA 0.033 and 0.040 μA nM–1 cm–2). The composite electrode exhibits improved electrocatalytic behavior compared to modified electrodes for nitrite and H2O2. The CoTMePhCAPc/MWCNT/GCE sensor displays good selectivity even in the presence of an excess of interfering metal ions and biomolecules at the applied potentials of +400 mV (nitrite) and −400 mV (H2O2). Moreover, the fabricated sensor was studied with various phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 5–9) electrolyte solutions. The unknown H2O2 concentration in blood samples and apple juice and nitrite concentration in drinking water and butter leaf lettuce were all measured using the usual addition method. Docking analysis clearly indicates that the ligand shows excellent inhibition activity toward the three subjected protein molecules.
