Isopotential points in square-wave voltammetry are described for the first time. Model calculations and real measurements (performed with UO22+ and Eu3+ in perchlorate and bromide solutions, respectively) indicate that such an intersection could be observed when backward components of the net response, resulting from an increase in frequency or reactant concentration, are presented together. The electrode reaction should be fully reversible because quasireversible or slower electron transfer processes give the isopoints only at increasing reactant concentrations but not at increasing square-wave frequencies. The effect could be used as an additional diagnostic criterion for recognition of reversible electrode reactions where products remain dissolved in the electrolyte solution.

The theory of square wave voltammetry for reversible electrode reactions is expanded to include average currents and currents flowing to a growing drop (single drop square wave polarography) using an expanding plane model. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment was found for the reduction of Fe(III), good agreement for the reduction of Cd(II). The expanding plane model proved superior, but not greatly superior to the simpler theory. For the case of average current the effect on the polarogram of the times at which integration is started and stopped is discussed. Integration decreases sensitivity but increases signal-to-noise ratio. The conditions for maximum analytical usefulness are presented.

This review concerns recent methodological advances of square-wave voltammetry as one of the most sophisticatedmembers of the pulse voltammetric techniques. Besides addressing recent theoretical works and representatives ofadvanced analytical studies, an emphasis is given to a few novel methodological concepts such as kinetic analysis atconstant scan rate, cyclic square-wave voltammetry, multisampling square-wave voltammetry, and electrochemical faradaicspectroscopy. For the purpose of improving analytical performances of the technique two new methods are proposedfor the first time.

The redox behaviour of a potential anticancer organic compound, 5,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione (DND), was investigated in 1 : 1 buffered aqueous ethanol using cyclic, differential pulse, and square wave voltammetry. The redox processes were found to occur in a pH-dependent diffusion-controlled manner. Presence of an α-hydroxyl group stabilised semiquinone radical of DND, formed by the gain of 1 e– and 1 H+, prevented the second step reduction, which is in contrast to the general mechanism previously reported for quinines in protic and aprotic media. In addition, our results supported an independent oxidation and reduction process. Square wave voltammetry provided evidence about the reversible and quasi-reversible nature of oxidation and reduction peaks. Based on the voltammetric results, the electrode reaction mechanism of DND was proposed. Parameters including pKa, transfer coefficient, diffusion coefficient, and electron transfer rate constant were evaluated. The values of pKa obtained from cyclic voltammetry and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy not only agreed with each other, but also with reported values of structurally related compounds evaluated by other techniques.

AbstractA model of electrode reaction complicated by slow adsorption of the reactant is developed for square-wave voltammetry with inverse scan direction. The relationship between the dimensionless net peak current and the logarithm of dimensionless rate constant of adsorption is a curve with a minimum and a maximum. For this reason the ratio of real net peak current and the square-root of frequency is a non-linear function of the logarithm of frequency and exhibits either a maximum or a minimum. The frequency of extreme serves for the estimation of the rate constant: log(k ads /D 1/2 ) = log(k*ads )crit + 0.5 log f crit , where (k*ads )crit is a critical dimensionless rate constant of adsorption. Square-wave voltammetry is sensitive to the kinetics of adsorption if k ads 2 cm s−1
