Abstract

Electrochromic properties of spun films of bis[octakis(hexylthio)phthalocyaninato] dysprosium(III) were investigated for determining nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride (NADH) in water solutions. A spin-coated film deposited on indium tin oxide electrode displays only one redox couple (at E1/2=0.78V). The films of [(C6H13S)8Pc]2Dy were modified chemically or electrochemically for the detection of reduced NADH in water solution. The modified film in the oxidized ([(C6H13S)8Pc]2Dy)+ form is believed to be reduced to its neutral form on interaction with NADH.
