The electrochemical characteristics of derivatives of anthracen-9-ylmethylene at a glassy carbon electrode in methylene chloride

This study reports the electrochemical investigation of the Anthracen-9-ylmethylene derivatives (anthracen-9-ylmethylene-(3,4-dime-thyl-isoxazol-5-yl)-amine) compound on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), employing chronoamperometry, chronocoulometry, convolutive voltammetry transforms, and numerical simulation techniques. The experiments were performed in a solution containing 0.1 mol L⁻¹ tetraethylammonium perchlorate (TEAP) in methylene chloride solvent (CH₂Cl₂). The oxidation process of the compound involved two sequential electron transfers. The first redox process involves the loss of a single electron transfer, leading to the formation of a radical cation followed by an irreversible chemical step, and the subsequent transformation of electron transfer produces a di-cation through an additional irreversible chemical process. The experimental kinetic parameters (α, ks, E°, D, and kc) were determined via the electrochemical techniques used. The numerical simulation method was used for confirmation and verification of the determined chemical and electrochemical parameters. The electrode pathway was found to follow an EC_irrEC_irr mechanism, providing valuable insights into the examination electrochemical performance of Anthracen-9-ylmethylene derivatives' on a GC electrode. Examination of the anthracen-9-ylmethylene derivatives via chronocoulometry experiments confirmed that the mass transport of the investigated species is controlled by the diffusion process.
