Electrochemical investigation of 2,5-dihydroxyanisole (2,5-DHA) has been carried out in aqueous solutions in pH range 2-11 on hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). The oxidation process in pH range 2-6 is a quasi-reversible electrode reaction which involves the transfer of two electrons and two protons. By use of semi-integration a dependence of the heterogeneous rate constant on the potential has been appreciated. Thus, the variation of peak current with pH changes can be explained. In more basic solutions the electrooxidation is complicated by subsequent chemical reactions as indicated from the calculated voltammetric and chronoamperometric parameters.

The electrochemical behaviour of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA) has been studied in the pH range 5.5–12.7 at a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). Voltammograms show the existence of one reversible wave of 2,5-DHBA governed by diffusion conditions. In the oxidation process a two-electron transfer takes place, as shown by the controlled potential electrolysis. From the calculation of the voltammetric parameters (peak width Ep − Ep/2, peak current function [Formula: see text]and from the other experimental data, a mechanism for the overall reaction in two different pH ranges, 5.5–9.5 and 9.5–12, is proposed.

Electrochemical Parameters

The electrochemical behaviour of Schiff base compounds derived from an antipyrine nucleus was investigated in 30% (v/v) ethanolic buffer solutions (pH 3-11) using various electrochemical techniques at mercury electrode. The results showed that, the total limiting current of each of the studied compounds corresponds to 2-electron transfer process. The mechanistic pathway of the electrode reaction of the investigated compounds at mercury electrode, the effect of the medium, and the evaluation of the electrode reaction parameters were illustrated and discussed.Key words: Schiff base, antipyrine nucleus, electrode reaction, electrochemical parameters, cyclic voltammetry.

General Method

The electrochemical behaviour at the mercury electrode of a series of sodium dithiocarbamates in aqueous solution has been investigated. Although the overall electrode reaction mechanism is the same as that for sodium diethyldithiocarbamate in each case, the current flowing in the main anodic wave is determined by the nature of the film of the particular insoluble mercury(II) dithiocarbamate deposited on the electrode and varies with the alkyl substituent group in the dithiocarbamate. A porous, loosely bound film which periodically bursts, causing localized stirring and large irregular currents, was indicated for large bulky alkyl groups (e.g. butyl) while for small or planar alkyl groups (e.g. methyl, tetramethylene) current inhibition was observed, suggesting a compact surface film. The influence of the surfactant Triton X-100 on the product film has also been examined. Linear sweep chronoamperometry is recommended as a general method of analysis for dithiocarbamates as the electrolysis time (and therefore the film thickness) can be selected to avoid the above interferences.

Dropping Mercury Electrode

The behaviour at the dropping mercury electrode of trans-azobenzene and its p-sulphonic acids has been studied by several techniques including d.c., a.c., single sweep, and Kalousek polarography. Current-potential curves recorded at the streaming mercury electrode provided information on the reversibility of the electrode processes, while current-time and electrocapillary curves aided in elucidating the effects of adsorption. The results show that the rate of the electrode reaction of the azo-hydrazo couple is dependent on pH, the minimum rate occurring near pH 9 for azobenzene-4-sulphonic acid in aqueous media. At very low and high pH values, the couple approaches full reversibility at the dropping mercury electrode. This pH effect is apparently due to strong adsorption of both the azo and hydrazo derivatives near the potential of the electrocapillary maximum. Ammonium ions associate with azobenzene-4-sulphonate, and improve the reversibility in intermediate pH regions.

Electrochemical behaviour of anticancer drug zileuton was investigated by direct current polarography (DCP) and differential pulse polarography using a dropping mercury electrode (DME) as working electrode and Ag/AgCl reference electrode in universal buffer of pH range from 2.0 to 12.0. The drug was extracted from the dosage forms in dimethyl formamide (DMF). Kinetic parameters such as diffusion co-efficient (D) and heterogeneous forward rate constants (k0f,h) are evaluated and reported. The differential pulse polarographic method has been developed for the determination of this drug in pharmaceutical formulations.

The electroreduction of periodate anion was studied at a dropping mercury electrode in aqueous solutions in the pH range 11–13.3 where the process is markedly affected by the double layer. The electrode reaction was found to be complex, its mechanism depending on both pH and ionic strength. The effects of the double layer on the component reactions are discussed with respect to current theoretical developments.

The electrochemical behaviour of europium at the dropping mercury electrode was studied in the medium of 1M-NaClO4, 1M-NaCl, 1M-NaNO3, and 1M-Na2SO4. The curves obtained by Tast polarography and the kinetic parameters (ks, α) for the Eu3+/Eu2+ system in the medium of perchlorate and chloride solutions are in accord with the results published earlier. The kinetic parameters in nitrate and sulphate media are given for the first time. In the medium of nitrates, the electrode reaction is probably accompanied by a chemical reaction.
