Surface excess concentrations of methyl red at the mercury-solution interface have been determined at pH 7.00, 9.80, and 12.30 from electrocapillary measurements using 0.lM sodium nitrate as supporting electrolyte. The results are interpreted in terms of a reorientation of the methyl red anion between -0.4 V and -0.6 V (v. S.C.E.)

The results of thermodynamic analysis of o-toluidine adsorption on a mercury electrode in the presence of various butan-1-ol amounts complete our previous studies on properties of mixed adsorption layers of toluidine isomers-butan-1-ol. The values of the relative surface excess Γ'°T obtained for o-toluidine show that adsorption of this compound decreases with increasing of butan-1-ol concentration. Analysis of adsorption parameters derived from the Frumkin isotherm indicates that in the presence of 0.33 M BuOH in 1 M NaClO4 with adjusted pH 3 as supporting electrolyte, ∆G0 values for o-toluidine are the highest and, at the same time, the strongest repulsive interaction occurs. In the presence of 0.11 M butan-1-ol, smaller values of ∆G0 for o-toluidine correspond to weaker repulsive interaction. Therefore the change of the Γ'°T value for o-toluidine as a function of butan-1-ol concentration is the result of mutual changes of ∆G0 and interaction constant A between adsorbate molecules.

In concentrated chloride media, nickel is reduced at far more positive potentials than in dilute solutions. The positive shift in half-wave potential increases as the ionic strength is raised, and is also greater when the cation of the supporting electrolyte has a high hydration number. Evidence is presented to show that the reduction in overpotential is due to the formation of a nickel chloride complex, [Ni(H2O)5Cl]+, which has a stoicheiometric stability constant of 0.094 � 0.009 at an ionic strength of 10.0. Spectrophotometric results show that this nickel species is not formed in low ionic strength solutions. In anhydrous methanol saturated with lithium chloride, nickel is present as the tetrachloro complex, [NiCl,]2-, which has similar polarographic behaviour to the monochloro complex. Current-potential curves recorded at a rotated pyrolytic graphite electrode enabled the behaviour of nickel to be studied in the absence of specific adsorption of the chloride ion. Nickel is reduced at more positive potentials at a dropping mercury electrode than at the pyrolytic graphite electrode, and the results indicate that this difference is due to specific adsorption of chloride on the mercury electrode.

A study of two prewaves of the Ni(II)-SCN- system was carried out under the experimental conditions when the influence of electroreduction of SCN- is negligible. Kinetics of Ni(II) reduction in thiocyanate media on the dropping mercury electrode was studied by DC Tast Polarography (DCTP) via determination of Koutecký's parameter χ; the influence of different variables was analyzed. The study of prewaves was performed using various polarographic techniques. Values of χ depend on the SCN- concentration, pH, ionic strength (Ψ-effect) and on the nature of the supporting electrolyte. The number of electrons n, the transfer coefficient α, the stoichiometric number ν, ∆H≠, and ∆S≠ were determined (compensation effect). The first prewave has character of a reaction in the solution, the second prewave is a surface process. Main features of both mechanisms are common: catalytic nature, one-electron step discharge and the rate-determining process between species of opposite charges.

Four ions were studied at the dropping mercury electrode. They were [Pt(ophen)2]2+, [Pt(ophen)(en)]2+, [Pt(ophen)(py)2]2+, and [Pt(ophen)(py)Cl]+, where ophen= 1,10- phenanthroline, en=ethylenediamine, and py=pyridine. The shapes of the c-v curves of the ions in supporting electrolyte 0.1M KCl, were dependent on complex ion concentration. Adsorption phenomena occurred with some ions but the effects decreased as the complex ion concentration decreased. The reduction of [Pt(ophen)2]2+ produced evidence for compounds of platinum with valency less than two. Reduction of the other ions appeared to proceed directly to metallic platinum.

A precise and simple method for the determination of the gamma isomer of benzenehexachloride in commercial insecticides and soil by the dropping mercury electrode is outlined. A satisfactory supporting electrolyte consisted of 1% potassium iodide and a trace of gelatin in 50% ethanol.

A study of the prewave of the Ni2+ - nicotine system was carried out under the experimental conditions when the influence of electroreduction of nicotine is negligible. The kinetics of Ni(II) reduction in nicotine media on the dropping mercury electrode were studied by direct current Tast polarography (DCTP) via the determination of the Koutecky's parameter, χ and the influence of different variables was analyzed. An electrochemical study of the prewave was also made by using various polarographic techniques. Values of χ depend on the nicotine concentration, pH, ionic strength (ψ-effect), and on the nature of the supporting electrolyte. The αn product (χ = transfer coefficient, n = number of electrons) and the stoichometric number,v, were determined. The prewave is interpreted as a surface reaction, the main features of the mechanism being its catalytic nature. The discharge is a two electron step and reaction between species of opposite charge is rate-determining.Key words: catalytic, prewave, polarography, nickel(II), nicotine.

A number of tetrammine ions of divalent platinum, in which the ligands were ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine, ethylenediamine, pyridine, aniline, and combinations of some of these, were studied at the dropping mercury electrode. Some of the ions showed maxima in their current-voltage curves (c-v curves). The formation of hydrogen interfered with the c-v curves of other ions, so that limiting currents were not obtainable. A method was devised for the measurement of a voltage by means of which the ease of reduction of the ions could be compared. Using a supporting electrolyte of 0.1M KCl and 0.01% gelatin, the order of increasing ease of reduction was found to be [Pt{(CH3)2NH)4]2+ = [Pt(NH3)4]2+ = [Pt(NH3)3(C5H5N)]2+ = [Pt{C2H4(NH2)2}2]2+ < cis-[Pt(NH3)2(C5H5N)2]2+ < trans-[Pt(NH3)2C5H5N)2]2+ < [Pt(CH3NH2)4]2+ = [Pt(NH3)(C5H5N)3]2+ <[Pt(C6H5N)4]2+ < cis-[Pt(NH3)2(C6H5NH2)2]2+ < trans-[Pt(NH3)2(C6H5NH2)2]2+. When the ammonia groups of [Pt(NHS),l2+ were successively replaced by pyridine groups, the resulting e-v curves shifted progressively to more positive voltages. It was also found that cis- and trans-isomers of [PtA,B,I2+ reduced at different voltages. The trans-isomer reduced more readily.
