Voltammetric determination of genotoxic nitro derivatives of fluorene and 9-fluorenone using a mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode

Abstract

Voltammetric behavior of selected genotoxic nitro compounds (2-nitrofluorene, 2,7-dinitrofluorene, 2-nitro-9-fluorenone and 2,7-dinitro-9-fluorenone) has been investigated using direct current voltammetry (DCV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdSDPV) at a mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode (m-AgSAE).
