Dropping Mercury Electrode

The behaviour of perinaphthenone at the dropping mercury electrode has been investigated by the combined techniques of conventional (D.C.) and alternating current (A.C.) polarography. Two D.C. steps were observed, but an A.C. polarographic wave was found only at the potential of the more positive D.C. step. Two tensammetric waves were also seen, one of which appears to be the outcome of multilayer adsorption or of a change in state of the adsorbed film.

Quantitative Treatment

Equations are derived to express the adsorption equilibrium subsisting at an adsorbent surface in the presence of two adsorbable species. These equations are applied to the case of the reduction of organic compounds at the dropping mercury electrode. It is well known that adsorption at the electrode can produce irreversibility in the D.C. step, and a qualitative explanation is provided. The same treatment is used to explain the shape of the A.C. calibration curves.

Surface Active

The behaviour of chloranilic acid at the dropping mercury electrode has been techniques of ordinary and of alternating current polarography. A new type of tensammetric wave has been encountered, which is probably an outcome either of multilayer adsorption and/or of a change in state of the adsorbed film. At the same time, a new tensammetric phenomenon, the exchange of one species of surface-active molecules against another, has been observed. Alternating current polarography can be used for estimating chloranilic acid at concentrations as low as 10-7M, whereas conventional polarography does not permit analysis at concentrations below 10-5M.

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.
