Abstract: The oxidation of substituted catechols was studied by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, rotating ring-disk electrode, and coulometry. The results showed that the quinones that were formed from the oxidation of substituted catechols reacted with the basic forms of the starting material to yield the dimeric product. These products were generally unstable and rapidly polymerized or underwent some other irreversible reaction to form an electroinactive product. For 3,4-dihydroxyacetophenone and propriophenone, the intermediate was stable long enough to be observed in cyclic voltammetry. The rate of the coupling reaction was found to correlate well with the Hammett P-q parameters and indicated that there was substantial negative charge in the transition state. Finally, an analysis of the coulometric n-values along with the iat1/2/C values indicated that the initial coupling product was a diphenyl ether. Analysis of the coulometry products showed extensive polymerization.

TL;DR: In this article, the polarization characteristics of acid zinc sulphate electrolytes containing various amounts of germanium and cobalt were examined by cyclic voltammetry and the effects of zinc and acid concentration, temperature, and surface preparation were also investigated.
Abstract: The polarization characteristics of acid zinc sulphate electrolytes containing various amounts of germanium and cobalt were examined by cyclic voltammetry. The effects of zinc and acid concentration, temperature, and surface preparation were also investigated. Small concentrations of impurities are shown to cause measurable changes in polarization behaviour. Levels as low as 0.02 mgl−1 Ge and 0.1 mgl−1 Co can be detected using this technique. The actual mechanism of impurity behaviour is more clearly delineated using this technique and evaluation of the data from these tests indicate that germanium and cobalt form local galvanic cells. The results of these short-term tests are shown to correlate with classical long-term efficiency tests. The deposit morphologies obtained for short-time cathodic cycles were also studied using scanning electron microscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface reactivity of FeS 2 has been investigated in terms of the S 2 2−, disulfide, structure in the latter mineral and cyclic voltammetry reveals two, almost reversible, monolayer surface processes in the potential range −0.2 to + 0.45 V at pH 1.
Abstract: Electrochemical studies on the surface reactivity of FeS 2 are described. Comparisons with FeS were made in order to examine if the behavior observed with FeS 2 is characteristic of the S 2 2− , disulfide, structure in the latter mineral. Cyclic voltammetry reveals two, almost reversible, monolayer surface processes at FeS 2 in the potential range −0.2 to +0.45 V at pH 1. FeS behaves much less reversibly and with three or four distinguishable electrochemical surface processes occurring over a potential range somewhat different from that for FeS 2 . At more alkaline pHs, the surface reactivity of FeS 2 is less reversible and involves a thicker surface region, some 20 times that in acid (pH 1) solutions. In distinction to the behavior found with PbS, reported previously, reoxidizable solution-soluble species (S 2− or SH − ) are not generated in the potential cycling at FeS 2 or FeS. SEM photography gives some idea of the surface morphological changes that occur on repetitive cycling, and the associated changes in the Fe:S ratio in the surface region are revealed by X-ray emission experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that coordination of cobalt by surface carboxylate groups causes extraordinarily slow electron transfer for the Co(III/II) step in tetra-(aminophenyl) porphyrin.
Abstract: : Electrochemistry of tetra-(aminophenyl) porphyrin covalently attached to glassy carbon and then cobalt-metalled, was investigated in DMSO and CH CN solvents in the pressence of pyridine. Shifts in formal potential were used to measure complex stability constants and coordination number for the pyridine complexes of the immobilized metalloporphyrin. Unusually slow electrochemistry of the Co(III/II) reaction was also studied cyclic voltammetry and by reflectance spectroelectrochemistry. It is proposed that coordination of cobalt by surface carboxylate groups causes extraordinarily slow electron transfer for the Co(III/II) step. (Author)

TL;DR: In this article, an enzyme-coenzyme complex was immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode and investigated with cyclic voltammetry in ethanol-containing buffers.
Abstract: An enzyme-coenzyme complex was immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode and investigated with cyclic voltammetry in ethanol-containing buffers. The complex consists of an Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase molecule to which an NAD-analogue is covalently attached via its straight six-carbon, spacer. One cycle was observed but repeated recycling could not be carried out. presumably due to catalytic decomposition of the coenzyme at the electrode surface.
