This project is in the general area of analytical and surface                   chemistry and in the subfields of electrochemistry and separation               science.  Three areas of technological and fundamental importance               are addressed by this research.  In the first area, extremely                   small microvoltammetric probes will be disigned and characterized               and their use for the dynamic in vivo quantification of                         intracellular neurotransmitters will be evaluated.  In a second                 area, capillary zone electrophoretic and microcolumn open-tubular               liquid chromatographic protocols will be developed for the                      analysis of ultra-small-volume samples.  Coupled with newly                     developed electrochemical detectors, these methods should permit                the detection of sub-femtomolar concentrations of redox-active                  analytes and provide a static quantitative method for                           neurotransmitter analysis to complement the dynamic approach                    already described.  Thirdly, the unique electrochemical behavior                of metallocene-derivatized phosphazenes and phosphazene polymers                will be investigated and their potential utility as charge                      storage media evaluated.                                                                                                                                        This five year continuing grant to The Pennsylvania State                       University for the support of Professor Ewing as a Presidential                 Young Investigator is designed to enable his rapid and effective                initiation of this broad and innovative research program in                     chemistry.
