Abstract:
In this work, porphyrin-based 2D MOF CuTCPP/platelet ordered mesoporous carbon (pOMC) composites were successfully synthesized by conventional solvothermal reaction. The introduction of pOMC increases conductivity of CuTCPP/pOMC composites, weakens accumulation of the CuTCPP layers, and exposes active sites of CuTCPP. CuTCPP/pOMC composites show high electro-catalytic activity to the oxidation of hydroxylamine and the redox of chlorogenic acid. An electrochemical sensor based on CuTCPP/pOMC was constructed for quantitative determination of hydroxylamine and chlorogenic acid, and relevant mechanisms were discussed. Under optimized conditions, the fabricated sensor displays two wide linear responses in the ranges of 5.8-733.8 μM and 733.8-2933.8 μM for hydroxylamine, with a rapid response time about 1 s. For chlorogenic acid, the sensor presents linear responses in the ranges of 0.1-2 μM and 2-15 μM, with a high sensitivity of 10.18 μA/μM. The sensor was used to detect hydroxylamine and chlorogenic acid in real samples, and satisfactory results were obtained. The synthesis of CuTCPP/pOMC composites provides new strategy for designing electrochemical sensors based on 2D MOFs.

Lewis Acids and Bases
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

What is an Electrochemical Gradient?
The chemical gradient relies on differences in the abundance of a substance on the outside versus the inside of a cell and flows from areas of high to low ion concentration. In contrast, the electrical gradient revolves around an...
Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
