T
he advancement in the chemistry of the coordination polymers having designable architectures fabricated from
functionalized building blocks is an emerging area from last two decades. The further challenges are the construction of
coordination network assembly having electro-active nano-pores. We are first time exploring a nanocrystalline coordination
polymer (NCCP) framework resulting from 2–amino–5–mercapto–1,3,4–thiadiazole (AMT) and silver nitrate. In the infinite
polymer arrangement of AMT–Ag, silver (I) centers are bridged by tecton AMT through the amino linkage and exocyclic thiol.
The grasped nano–sized granules of AMT–Ag are investigated by FE-SEM. The crystalline nature along with the oxidation
state of silver is studied through XRD, TEM and XPS respectively. Additionally, the thermal stability and activation energy
for thermal decomposition of NCCP are scrutinized by thermo–gravimetric analysis. Furthermore, the efficient electron
transfer kinetics is probed by using Fe (II)/Fe (III) redox couple in phosphate buffer pH 7 via cyclic voltammetry. The excellent
electroactivity is employed in the electro-detection of a biologically active drug molecule ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CFX).
The anodic peak current revealed a linear dependence with CFX concentration with sensitivity and limit of detection as 0.001
μA/μM and 5.0 nM, respectively. The effective assay of the drug is caused by the excellent electron channeling through the
pores of polymeric nano–crystallites. Further, the concept is extended and established in the voltammetric detection of CFX
in biological fluid and pharmaceutical formulation by a considerably high sensitivity (0.002 mA/mM and 0.007 mA/mM) and
the detection limit (22 nM and 60 nM) respectively. Our established system has potential for fabrication of high performance
electro-chemical sensors for assay of biologically significant drug molecule.
