Isoproturon Electrochemical Oxidation as an Electroanalytic and Electrosynthetic System Theoretical Investigation

The electrochemical oxidation of the pesticide isoproturon, followed by electrochemical polymerization of its product has been described from the theoretical point of view. The mathematical model, describing both processes, has been developed and analyzed. The system´s behavior is similar to that observed in the processes of gabapentine and paracetamol detection and of so called “polythiophene paradox”, and the stable steady-state is maintained easily and rapidly, being efficient either for electroanalytical, or for electrosynthetical process. The possibility of oscillatory and monotonic instabilities was also evaluated.
