TL;DR: In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of pure iron in alkaline sulphate solutions was studied using cyclic voltammetry atT = 298 K. At starting potentials in the range of hydrogen evolution and at maximum activation conditions, the voltammograms showed three anodic current maxima and two cathodic ones.
Abstract: The electrochemical behaviour of pure iron in alkaline sulphate solutions was studied using cyclic voltammetry atT = 298 K. It has been found that the results depend on the polarization pre-treatment of the electrode and the activation state of its surface. At starting potentials in the range of hydrogen evolution and at maximum activation conditions, the voltammograms show three anodic current maxima and two cathodic ones. A correlation between these different maxima is given. The electrode processes, which may take place at these maxima, are discussed in terms of possible iron dissolution mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this article, the identity of the 12-molybdosilicic acid was established polarographically and spectrophotometrically, and the range of stability of the beta-isomer as a function of hydrogen ion concentration was determined.
Abstract: The beta form of 12-molybdosilicic acid was prepared and isolated as a yellow hygroscopic solid from a 1:1 mixture of water-dioxane. The identity of the beta- isomer was established polarographically and spectrophotometrically. The range of stability of the beta-isomer as a function of hydrogen ion concentration was determined. In addition, techniques were developed for preparing, in pure form, several heteropoly compounds used for polarographic and conductivity measurements. The solvolytic stability, electrolyte strength and oxidation-reduction behaviour of several heteropoly compounds were determined by pH, conductivity, and polarographic measurements. Heteropolymolybdate oxidation—reduction behaviour and stability in solution were examined by direct current and alternating current polarography and cyclic voltammetry in aqueous and water-dioxane solutions. The reduction of the anions proceeds in several steps for which the half-wave potentials were determined. Conductivity and pH measurements on the heteropoly acids H4 [PMo11V040]and H5 [PMo10V2O40]at 25 °C in aqueous solution, and in mixed oxygen-containing solvents, show that the vanadium compounds exhibit behaviour typical of unsymmetrical strong electrolytes in oxygen-containing solvents and are stable in these media.

TL;DR: In this paper, the half-wave potentials of Co2+ tetraphenylporphyrin, measured by cyclic voltammetry in methylenechloride solution, are changed by the addition of weak bases like methanol, acetone and dimethylformamide.
Abstract: The oxidation half-wave potentials of Co2+ tetraphenylporphyrin, measured by cyclic voltammetry in methylenechloride solution, are changed by the addition of weak bases like methanol, acetone and dimethylformamide. The wave corresponding to the metal-oxidation Co2+ ⇄ Co3+ is shifted to lower potential, while the wave, corresponding to the ligand oxidation Co3+(TPP) ⇄ Co3+(TPP)+. is shifted to higher potential. It can be shown, that this is due to a preferential interaction of Co3+(TPP) with the bases, which is stronger than that of the Co2+(TPP) as well as that of the Co3+(TPP)+. Because the shifts are proportional to the concentration of added base, they can be followed quantitatively and the equilibrium constants of the interactions between the different oxidation states and the bases can be calculated. The reduction wave of Co2+(TPP), corresponding to the Co3+ ⇄ Co1+ transition is not changed by the weak bases, but is shifted to lower potential by pyridine and the picolines. The shift is again proportional to the concentration of added base. The reduction wave of Fe3−(TPP)Cl− is not changed by the weak bases, but is shifted to lower potential by pyridine. While the reduction wave of the free Fe3+(TPP)Cl− is irreversible, that of the pyridine-adduct is reversible. In this case the shift is not proportional to the amount of added base. The voltammetric curves of the Cu, Ni, and Zn tetraphenyl-porphyrins are not changed by the addition of either the weak or the strong bases.

TL;DR: Anodic oxidations of several 4- and 4-substituted benzanilides were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis at a glassy-carbon electrode in aqueous buffer solution and also in dry acetonitrile in the absence and presence of pyridines.
Abstract: Anodic oxidations of several 4- and 4′-substituted benzanilides were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis at a glassy-carbon electrode in aqueous buffer solution and also in dry acetonitrile in the absence and presence of pyridines. 4′-Methoxybenzanilide (MBA) showed two anodic peaks between pH 9·5 and 11·5, and a single anodic peak at higher and lower pH values. On electrolysis of MBA in weakly acidic or neutral solution, N-benzoyl-p-benzoquinone imine was formed, and on electrolysis in alkaline and strongly acidic solution, p-benzoquinone and benzamide were the main products. Anodic oxidation of MBA in acetonitrile containing excess of pyridine gave the pyridinated MBA, 1-(2-benzamido-5-methoxyphenyl)pyridinium perchlorate.
