Polarographic and voltammetric behavior of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene was investigated using tast polarography and differential pulse polarography at a classic dropping mercury electrode and differential pulse voltammetry and adsorptive stripping voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions have been found for the determination of tested substance in the concentration range 2-10 μmol l-1 in tast polarography, 0.2-1 μmol l-1 in differential pulse polarography at a classic dropping mercury electrode or differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode, and 0.02-0.1 μmol l-1 using adsorptive stripping voltammetry. A possible mechanism of the electrochemical reduction of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene at mercury electrodes is discussed.

The polarographic reduction of the azodye semitrypane blue has been studied, a mechanism has been proposed and optimal conditions have been found for the determination of this substance by TAST polarography (to 2.10-6 mol l-1) and differential pulse polarography (to 1.10-7 mol l-1) at a classical dropping mercury electrode and by fast scan differential pulse voltammetry (to 1.10-8 mol l-1) and linear scan voltammetry (to 1.10-8 mol l-1) at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limit was decreased to 1.10-9 mol l-1 for fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and 1.10-10 mol l-1 for linear scan voltammetry by using adsorptive accumulation of the determined substance at the hanging mercury drop electrode.

The reduction of mutagenic bisazodye trypane blue has been studied at a mercury electrode, a mechanism has been proposed and optimal conditions found for its analytical application. The use of a dropping mercury electrode with a renewable surface yielded a detection limit of 8 . 10-7 mol l-1 for TAST polarography, and 8 . 10-8 mol l-1 for differential pulse polarography; the use of a hanging mercury drop electrode with an unrenewed surface during the measurement yielded detection limit of 6 . 10-8 mol l-1 for fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and 4 . 10-8 mol l-1 for linear scan voltammetry. Preliminary adsorptive accumulation of the determined substance on the surface of the hanging mercury drop electrode led to a decrease in the detection limit to 5 . 10-9 mol l-1 for linear scan voltammetry.

Conditions were found for the determination of 6-mercaptopurine (I) and 6-thioguanine (II) by TAST polarography, differential pulse polarography and fast-scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limits were 10-6, 8 . 10-8, and 6 . 10-8 mol l-1, respectively. A further lowering of the detection limit to 2 . 10-8 mol l-1 was attained by preliminary accumulation of the determined substances at the surface of a hanging mercury drop.

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).

Electrochemical behavior of genotoxic 2-aminofluoren-9-one (2-AFN) was investigated by DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP), both at a classical dropping mercury electrode (DME), and by DC voltammetry (DCV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdSDPV), all at a miniaturized hanging mercury drop minielectrode (HMDmE), in buffered aqueous-methanolic solutions. Optimum conditions were found for the determination of 2-AFN by DCTP at DME in the concentration range from 1 × 10–6to 1 × 10–4mol l–1(with a limit of quantification (LQ) of 5 × 10–7mol l–1), by DPP at DME (from 1 × 10–7to 1 × 10–4mol l–1;LQ ≈ 1 × 10–7mol l–1), by DCV and DPV at HMDmE (both from 1 × 10–7to 1 × 10–4mol l–1;LQs ≈ 2 × 10–7and 1 × 10–7mol l–1for DCV and DPV, respectively), and by AdSDPV at HMDmE (from 2 × 10–9to 1 × 10–7mol l–1;LQ ≈ 4 × 10–9mol l–1). Practical applicability of the developed methods was verified on the direct determination of 2-AFN in model samples of drinking and river water in nanomolar to micromolar concentrations.

The polarographic reduction of the bisazodye congo red has been studied, a mechanism was proposed for this process and optimal conditions were found for determination of this substance by TAST polarography and differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode and using fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and voltammetry with linearly increasing voltage at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limit for the latter two techniques is about 10-8 mol l-1; a further decrease in the value can be attained by prior accumulation of the determined substance by adsorption on the surface of the working electrode.

The polarographic reduction of the 3'-halogen derivatives of N,N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene was studied in mixed water-methanol medium and optimum conditions were found for the determination of these genotoxic substances by tast polarography in the concentration range 1 . 10-4 to 2 . 10-6 mol l-1, differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode in the range 1 . 10-4 to 2 . 10-7 mol l-1 and fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in the range 1 . 10-6 to 2 . 10-8 mol l-1. The increase in the sensitivity resulting from adsorptive accumulation of the studied substances on the surface of a hanging mercury drop can be utilized in the determination using the latter method in the concentration range 1 . 10-8 to 2 . 10-9 mol l-1.

A study was made of the polarographic reduction of the title triazene, a mechanism was proposed for this process and optimal conditions were found for its analytical application using tast polarography in the range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-6 mol l-1, differential pulse polarography in the range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-7 mol l-1 and fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in the range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-7 mol l-1. The sensitivity of the latter technique was increased through adsorptive accumulation of the test substance on the surface of the working electrode, permitting determination in the concentration range 1 . 10-7 - 2 . 10-9 mol l-1.
