Electrode Processes in Organic Polarography

Recent Trends in Organic Polarography

INTRODUCTION The present paper does not attempt to be exhaustive in listing all of the current trends in the polarography of organic compounds. Rather, an attempt has been made to focus attention on those trends, which seem of major importance for future studies in organic polarography, with particular reference to some of the unsolved problems which still confront us. Significant recent activi...

Polarography in Molten Salts

TYPES OF MELTS From the practical viewpoint, melts may be classified according to melting points which may limit the available techniques. The lowest melting, with working temperatures up to 250°, are typified by the LiNO3—NaNO3— KNO3 eutectic, NaNO3—KNO3 eutectic, LiClO4, and ammonium formate. With these solvents it is possible to use the dropping mercury electrode, or hanging mercury drop ele...

Electrode Reactions of Organic Compounds

The last Faraday Society Discussions on Electrode Processes were held in 1947 and marked the onset of an extensive fruitful post-war development of fast reaction techniques in electrochemistry. Considerable information has since been obtained on rate constants of simple inorganic electron transfers, paralleling a similar development in homogeneous reactions, and on electron transfer theory. A t...

Developments in Chromato-polarography

Developments in chromato-polarography and the results obtained from its application to the analysis of mixtures of organic compounds are presented. The possibility of determining traces of organic impurities in organic substances by this technique is evaluated. The polarographic method is today one of the most important instrumental methods and has found wide application in analytical chemistry...
