Reversible Electrochemical Modulation of a Catalytic Nanosystem.

A catalytic system based on monolayer-functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) that can be electrochemically modulated and reversibly activated is reported. The catalytic activity relies on the presence of metal ions (Cd(2+) and Cu(2+) ), which can be complexed by the nanoparticle-bound monolayer. This activates the system towards the catalytic cleavage of 2-hydroxypropyl-p-nitrophenyl phosphate (HPNPP), which can be monitored by UV/Vis spectroscopy. It is shown that Cu(2+) metal ions can be delivered to the system by applying an oxidative potential to an electrode on which Cu(0) was deposited. By exploiting the different affinity of Cd(2+) and Cu(2+) ions for the monolayer, it was also possible to upregulate the catalytic activity after releasing Cu(2+) from an electrode into a solution containing Cd(2+) . Finally, it is shown that the activity of this supramolecular nanosystem can be reversibly switched on or off by oxidizing/reducing Cu/Cu(2+) ions under controlled conditions.
