Abstract: : The theoretical aspects of square voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode are presented. The technique involves scanning the entire potential range of interest on a single drop of a dme. Asymmetries in the waveform as well as variations in current measurement parameters are discussed. Indications are that previous uses of the waveform may not have utilized all its capabilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a trace analysis using square wave voltammetry at the dme is presented, which is shown to have the same order of sensitivity as differential pulse polarography but is much faster to perform.
Abstract: : Experimental verification of earlier theoretical work for square wave voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode is given. Experiments using ferric oxalate and cadmium (II) in HC1 confirm excellent agreement with theory. Experimental peak heights and peak widths are found to be within 2% of calculated results. An example of trace analysis using square wave voltammetry at the dme is presented. The technique is shown to have the same order of sensitivity as differential pulse polarography but is much faster to perform. A detection limit for cadmium in 0.1 M HC1 for the system used here was 7 x 10 to the minus 8th power M.

TL;DR: In this article, the deposition stripping behavior of iodide films at the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) was investigated, and the surface monolayers of Hg. HgI and Hg/sub 2/I/sub 3/2/sub 4/1/2.
Abstract: The deposition-stripping behavior of iodide films at the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) is investigated. Surface monolayers of Hg . HgI and Hg/sub 2/I/sub 2/ are postulated based on the percentage occupancy of the available sites at the surface of the HMDE. Submonolayer films of Hg . HgI, as stripped from the electrode, are used to determine iodine concentrations from 1 to 50 ppb with a standard deviation of 0.3 ppb.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In contrast to results from aqueous solution, the initial one electron reduction proceeds with a rapid loss of cyanide to give the blue five-coordinate tetracyanonitrosylferrate(I) anion.
Abstract: : The electrochemical reduction of the pentacyanonitrosylferrate(II) anion has been studied in nonaqueous aprotic media by polarography, cyclic voltammetry and coulometry. In contrast to results from aqueous solution, the initial one electron reduction proceeds with a rapid loss of cyanide to give the blue five-coordinate tetracyanonitrosylferrate(I) anion. The tetracyanonitrosylferrate(I( anion undergoes a further quasireversible reduction and an oxidation which is reversible at fast sweep rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus is described which allows one to measure the polarographic currents of free H atoms produced radiation chemically in an aqueous solution under 50 atm of hydrogen.
Abstract: An apparatus is described which allows one to measure the polarographic currents of free H atoms produced radiation chemically in an aqueous solution under 50 atm of hydrogen. The electrode was a tiny mercury drop. The polarogram of the H-atom contains a weak anodic wave and two cathodic waves. The pH dependence of these waves is described and electrode processes are attributed to the waves.Methyl and ethyl radicals were also produced in solutions under high methane or ethane pressure as well as the 2-hydroxyethyl radical in an ethylene + N2O containing solution. All these radicals have separated anodic and cathodic waves. The anodic wave is shifted towards more negative potentials in alkaline solutions. In acid solution additional cathodic currents were obtained in the potential range between the two main waves. Various electrode reactions of these organic radicals are discussed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the electrochemical reduction of cyclohex-2-enones was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry, d.c. polarography, coulometry and chemical product analysis.
Abstract: The electrochemical reduction of the cyclohex-2-enones 1a–1e (mercury cathode, CH3CN, Bu4NBF4) was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry, d.c. polarography, coulometry and chemical product analysis. Compounds 1a–1c give a mixture of the hydrodimers 4 and 5via formation of the radical anion 2 by an irreversible one electron transfer, followed by protonation and dimerization of the allylic radical 3. The 6-halocyclohex-2-enones 1d and 1e exhibit two distinct reduction waves. The first corresponds to an irreversible two electron transfer with formation of the halide anion and the enolate anion 6 which gives 1b by protonation. The second wave corresponds to a quasi-reversible one electron transfer to 6 to afford the radical dianion 7 (Scheme 2).
