Abstract

Ferrocenemethanol is employed as an aqueous, homogeneous redox mediator for hydrogen sulfide. The reaction is seen to follow an EC’ mechanism over the range 6≤pH≤9, with bisulfide reacting four times more rapidly than hydrogen sulfide. In the presence of 10 vol.% hæmolysed blood, greater concentrations of sulfide (as H2S or as HS−) are required to achieve the same degree of redox catalysis, compared with the absence of the blood proteins, at both pH 7 and pH 9. It is suggested that this phenomenon derives from a ferrocenemethanol/blood protein interaction, which is first titrated by the sulfide species. This can give rise to a titration-based electroanalytical assay for sulfide in blood, whilst being important for blood-based electrochemical bioassays involving hydrophilic ferrocene derivatives.
