The adsorption of sulfamate ions on mercury electrodes has been studied by measuring the double layer capacity in constant ionic strength solutions of composition xM NH4SO3NH2 + (1−x)M NH4F. It was found that sulfamate ions are weakly adsorbed on mercury, the amount adsorbed being significant only for x > 0.1 at positive charges on the electrode. Because of this, the properties of the inner layer were found to be strongly dependent on the adsorbed water molecules and the structure of the diffuse layer. It was determined that the adsorption of sulfamate ions can be described by an isotherm based on the electrostatic model of the double layer. The possible effects of the activity coefficient variation with solution composition are discussed.

The adsorption and two-dimensional condensation of xanthine at the mercury electrode in 0.2 and 2 M NaCl was studied by electrode double layer capacity measurements. The condensation of xanthine molecules adsorbed at the electrode was observed at pH 6.0 and 7.4, but not at 9.0. The standard Gibbs energy of adsorption, energy of lateral interactions and the surface occupied by one xanthine molecule in a compact layer were calculated from the temperature dependence of the capacity pit using the Frumkin and Ising lattice gas models. The orientation of xanthine molecules in a compact layer at the electrode surface was estimated. At higher bulk concentrations of xanthine, the double layer capacity decreases to a very low value of about 1.5 mF cm-2, which might be an indication of the formation of a xanthine multilayer at the electrode surface.
