It is well accepted that adsorbed CO (COad) on Pt electrode reacts with water (or oxygenated species). We have recently found that COad also reacts with methanol and ethanol to form methyl formate (COad + CH3OH → HCOOCH3) and ethyl formate (COad + C2H5OH → HCOOC2H5), respectively, by using surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography. In the present report, we estimate the rate constants of the reactions by considering that the reactions proceed via Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. The rate constants are estimated to be in the order of 0.1 s-1.

Brucella is a foodborne pathogen globally affecting both the economy and healthcare. Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) nano-biosensing can be a promising strategy for its detection. We combined high-performance quasi-crystal patterned nanocavities for Raman enhancement with the use of covalently immobilized Tbilisi bacteriophages as high-performing bio-receptors. We coupled our efficient SERS nano-biosensor to a Raman system to develop an on-field phage-based bio-sensing platform capable of monitoring the target bacteria. The developed biosensor allowed us to identify Brucella abortus in milk by our portable SERS device. Upon bacterial capture from samples (104 cells), a signal related to the pathogen recognition was observed, proving the concrete applicability of our system for on-site and in-food detection.


The second virial coefficients of binary mixtures of chloroform with methyl formate, n -propyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate and diethylamine have been measured in a ‘Boyle’s law apparatus’ at temperatures between 50 and 95 °C. The measured values are consistently higher than predicted by the theory of corresponding states, and a quantitative interpretation is proposed, based on the hypothesis that the esters and amine are partially dimerized and are involved in association with the chloroform by hydrogen bonding. A linear relation is shown to exist between the heats and entropies of association for the various mixtures, and the theoretical significance of this is discussed. There is some evidence that hydrogen bonds are formed through the alkoxyl oxygen by formate esters and through the carbonyl oxygen by acetate esters. The paper includes data on the second virial coefficient for the pure esters and for ethyl formate and methyl propionate.
