Electrocatalysis of neurotransmitter catecholamines by 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium ion immobilized inside zeolite Y supercages

Abstract

2,4,6-Triphenylpyrylium ions entrapped inside the supercages of Y zeolite exert a remarkable catalytic effect toward the electrochemical oxidation of dopamine and norepinephrine (neurotrasmitter catecholamines) in neutral aqueous media.
