General description

LC/MS suitability tested

Application


  • Detection of Amino Acids via Chemiluminescence: Acetonitrile is employed in the detection of α-amino acids using peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence. A study demonstrated the use of a mixed solution of water, acetonitrile, and ethyl acetate for detecting amino acids, highlighting its efficacy in analytical applications. This method enhances the sensitivity and accuracy of amino acid detection, making it crucial for biochemical and clinical analyses (Kan et al., American Journal of Analytical Chemistry, 2020).

  • Redox Properties of N-Hydroxyimides: Acetonitrile mixed with sulfuric acid is used to study the redox properties of N-hydroxyimides, acting as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mediator for alcohol oxidation. This application is significant in understanding the electrochemical behavior of organic compounds and developing new catalytic processes for oxidation reactions (Kishioka, Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, 2023).

  • Electrode Reactions in Catalytic Mediation: Acetonitrile solution is used in investigating the electrode reactions of N-hydroxyphthalimide in sulfuric acid. This study focuses on its role as a catalytic mediator for alcohol oxidation, providing insights into the electrochemical mechanisms involved. The findings contribute to the development of efficient catalytic systems for organic transformations (Kishioka, Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, 2022).

  • Excitation of Europium Complexes: Acetonitrile solution is utilized in the interaction of Eu(FOD)3 with xenon difluoride to study ligand-assisted excitation of Eu(III). This research explores the photophysical properties of europium complexes, which are essential for developing luminescent materials for various applications, including lighting and display technologies (Masyagutova et al., Journal of Fluorine Chemistry, 2024).
