A broad and comprehensive survey of the fundamentals for electrochemical methods now in widespread use. This book is meant as a textbook, and can also be used for self-study as well as for courses at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate levels. Knowledge of physical chemistry is assumed, but the discussions start at an elementary level and develop upward. This revision comes twenty years after publication of the first edition, and provides valuable new and updated coverage.

In the area of electroanalytical chemistry, the Brown group studies the electrochemical preparation and characterization of chemically modified electrodes. A variety of compounds have been investigated as monomers for oxidative electropolymerization feasibility and these include: 3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), Fe(II) and Ru(II)-tris(5-amino-1,10 phenanthroline) and metal(II)-tetraaminophthalocyanine. A joint collaboration with Professor Elizabeth Sanford and research students is devoted towards preparing organic conducting polymer films using monomers of EDOT. The polymer films are formed via oxidative electropolymerization using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and are being used on different electrode surfaces for sensing applications of metals, and biologically and environmentally important molecules. The CV shown below is the electropolymerization of an EDOT-based compound which is fluorinated.
Another major aspect of the research program is devoted to understanding the mechanisms of charge transfer within the polymeric films by various electrochemical characterization techniques. This involves calculating the apparent diffusion coefficients using electrochemical techniques, and thin film thickness using ion beam techniques or atomic force microscopy. The students involved in this research will gain a fundamental understanding in a variety of electrochemical (CV and chronocoulometry) hyphenated techniques (spectroelectrochemistry).
The CV on the left is the characterization of the fluorinated EDOT compound. When the polymer film is exposed to aqueous solutions, the electrochemical activity diminishes, but is restored with return to an organic-based supporting electrolyte solution. The CV characterization on the right depicts the reversible charge transfer occurring within the Ru-based film.
The methods used to study the chemical properties of compounds involved in certain plants at the cellular level will be drawn primarily from analytical chemistry and organic chemistry. Various instrumental techniques in the area of separation science and spectroscopy are used to understand the dynamic and synergistic impact of environmental and biotic manipulative implants of chemicals on animal growth, animal development and animal survival. Each of these areas are monitored using modern methods in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV and electrochemical detection, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Students working on this research will utilize chemical information from literature resources to acquire background information about the utilization of analytical chemistry techniques applied to medicinal chemistry.
