The behaviour of electrochemically reducible single-strand polynucleotides (poly(adenylic acid)) and poly(cytidylic acid)) was studied by the differential (derivative) pulse polarography (DPP) and by other methods. Measurements were performed with the help of the dropping mercury electrode under various conditions specified by the pulse width, pulse amplitude, drop time etc. For the faradaic and tensammetric DPP peaks the diagnostic criteria were proposed which make it possible to classify even very small DPP peaks of double helical polynucleotides.

A method is described for determining total platinum content in urine, blood plasma and tissues of patients or experimental animals receiving cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum(II). The method is based on drying and combustion of the biological material in a muffle furnace. The product of the combustion is dissolved successively in aqua regia, hydrochloric acid and ethylenediamine. The resulting platinum-ethylenediamine complex yields a catalytic current at a dropping mercury electrode allowing to determine platinum by differential pulse polarography. Platinum levels of c. 50-1 000 ng per ml of the biological fluid or per 0.5 g of a tissue can readily be analyzed with a linear calibration.

Thiocyanate Concentration

The electroreduction of cobalt(II) in aqueous thiocyanate solutions at the dropping mercury electrode depends on the thiocyanate concentration. At [SCN-] = 0.3 mol/l the intermediate cobalt(I)-thiocyanate complex does exist electrokinetically and may be responsible for the appearance of a peaked catalytic wave. The predecessor species of this intermediate may be CoSCN+ and Co(SCN)2 in similarity to the behaviour of cobalt(II) with cyanide and azide ions.

Polarographic reduction of the genotoxic N,N’-dinitrosopiperazine was studied and its mechanism was suggested. Optimum conditions were established for the determination of this substance by tast polarography over the concentration region of 1 . 10-3 to 1 . 10-6 mol l-1 and by differential pulse polarography on the conventional dropping mercury electrode or by fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry on a hanging mercury drop electrode over the concentration region of 1 . 10-3 to 1 . 10-7 mol l-1. Attempts at increasing further the sensitivity via adsorptive accumulation of the analyte on the surface of the hanging mercury drop failed. The methods are applicable to the testing of the chemical efficiency of destruction of the title chemical carcinogen based on its oxidation with potassium permanganate in acid solution.

The polarographic behaviour was studied for 6-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-7-hydroxycoumarin, a natural compound serving as an optical whitening agent. The substance can be quantitated by tast polarography, differential pulse polarography using a conventional dropping mercury electrode, and differential pulse polarography using a static mercury drop electrode over the regions of 20-1 000, 2-1 000, and 0.2-1 000 μmol l-1, respectively. The methods developed for the quantitation of the compound were applied to its direct determination in a raw product.

Separation And Preconcentration

The polarographic behavior of 3-nitrofluoranthene was investigated by DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP), both at a dropping mercury electrode, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV), both at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions have been found for its determination by the given methods in the concentration ranges of 1 × 10-6-1 × 10-4 mol l-1 (DCTP), 1 × 10-7-1 × 10-4 mol l-1 (DPP), 1 × 10-8-1 × 10-6 mol l-1 (DPV) and 1 × 10-9-1 × 10-7 mol l-1 (AdSV), respectively. Practical applicability of these techniques was demonstrated on the determination of 3-nitrofluoranthene in drinking and river water after its preliminary separation and preconcentration using liquid-liquid and solid phase extraction with the limits of determination 4 × 10-10 mol l-1 (drinking water) and 2 × 10-9 mol l-1 (river water).

Layer Chromatography

The polarographic reduction of the title azodye has been studied, a mechanism was proposed and optimal conditions were found for the determination of this substance by TAST polarography in the range 5.10-5-2.10-6 mol l-1 and differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode in the range 5.10-5-2.10-8 mol l-1. The sensitivity was further increased by adsorptive accumulation of the determined substance on the surface of a hanging mercury drop electrode with linear scan voltammetry (determination limit 5.10-10 mol l-1). The selectivity was increased by prior separation of the determined azodye using thin layer chromatography and by transferring the substance adsorbed on the surface of the hanging mercury drop to a new base electrolyte solution.

The polarographic behaviour of N,N-dimethyl-4-amino-4'-sulfoazobenzene was investigated by tast polarography and differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode, constant-potential coulometry at a large area mercury electrode and cyclic voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions have been found for its determination by tast polarography in the concentration range of 2-100 μmol l-1, differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode in the concentration range of 0.2-100 μmol l-1 and by differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in the concentration range of 0.02-10 μmol l-1. The sensitivity of the determination can be further improved by adsorptive accumulation of the test substance on the hanging mercury drop electrode. Three-minute accumulation in stirred solution allows determination in the range of 0.2-100 nmol l-1.

Mechanism Of The Reaction

The polarographic behaviour of n-butylthioglycolate (RSH) at the DME in aqueous media, methanol, and acetonitrile has been investigated in the presence of 0.1 M KNO3 and 0.01% thymol. The effect of pH, concentration of RSH, and drop time on the wave characteristics and the mechanism of the reaction occurring at the surface of the mercury drop have been studied. Well-defined reversible and diffusion-controlled anodic waves were obtained in aqueous media (pH 4.2), 40% methanol (pH 3.22), and 40% acetonitrile (pH 2.96). Mathematical and analytical evidence was obtained to show that the anodic wave of RSH at a dropping mercury electrode in aqueous media, 40% methanol, and 40% acetonitrile is due to the formation of the mercury complex RSHg. The dissociation constant (pK) of the mercapto group in n-butylthioglycolate is 9.6 and the diffusion coefficient in the different media are 1.17 × 10−6 cm2 s−1 (in aqueous media) 1.23 × 10−6 cm2 s−1 (in 40% methanol), and 2.43 × 10−6 cm2 s−1 (in 40% acetonitrile). The linearity of id with RSH concentration provides a rapid and precise method for the determination of RSH, down to 0.4 mM in aqueous media, methanol, and acetonitrile.
