The application of hydroquinone for the coulometric generation of hydrogen ions in propylene carbonate (PC) and ?-butyrolactone (GBL) is described. The current-potential curves recorded for this depolarizer, titrated bases, indicator and the solvents used showed that the investigated depolarizer is oxidized at lower potentials than the oxidation potentials of other components in the solution. The hydrogen ions generated by the oxidation of hydroquinone were used for the titration of organic bases (triethylamine, n-butylamine, pyridine, quinoline, aniline, N,N'-diphenylguanidine, piperidine, and 2,2?-bi?pyridine) in PC and GBL with with visual (Crystal Violet as indicator) and potentiometric end-point detection using a quinhydrone electrode as the indicator electrode. The quinhydrone added to the to be analyzed solution served both as a source of hydrogen ions and, together with the immersed platinum electrode, as a quinhydrone electrode. The relative error of the determination of the bases was about 1%.

The application of esters of gallic acid (propyl, butyl and dodecyl gallate) for the coulometric generation of H+ ions in aqueous media is described. The current-potential curves recorded for these depolarizers, as well as for tris(hydrosymethyl) aminomethane (?THAM?) and the employed solvent showed that the investigated depolarizes are oxidized at potentials lower than the oxidation potentials of the other components in the solution. The H+ ions formed by the oxidation of these depolarizers (in 1 mol/L sodium perchlorate in water) were used for the titration of THAM with potentiometric end-point detection using a hydrogen/palladium indicator electrode. The current efficiency was 100 %.

The iodimetric determination of triazolethiols and tetrazolethiols in alkaline medium is presented. The volumetric titration with potentiometric end-point detection was applied. The range of determination, in which the error is lower than 1%, is 20-2 000 μmol for 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (1), 25-1 000 μmol for 3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiol (2), 25-500 μmol for 4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (3), 50-500 μmol for 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiol (4), 10-1 000 μmol for sodium (5-mercapto-1H-tetrazol-1-yl)acetate (5), 125-500 μmol for 1-phenyl-1H-tetrazole-5-thiol (6) and 50-1 000 μmol for 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazole-5-thiol (7). The relative standard deviation for all determinations was below 1%. The shape of potentiometric titration curve of 6 and 7 is noteworthy at higher concentrations of sodium hydroxide and depends on the type of the indicator electrode (platinum, gold). An introduction of iodine results in a strong potential drop. Some systems do not follow the Nernst equation.

The pKA values of protonated triethylamine, pyridine and 2,2'-dipyridyl in propylene carbonate (PC) were determined by applying the coulometric-potentiometric method and a hydrogen/palladium generator anode (H2/Pd). The investigated and reference base were titrated to 50 % with protons electro-generated from hydrogen-saturated palladium, in the presence of sodium perchlorate as the supporting electrolyte. The half-neutralization potentials E1/2(x) and E1/2(st.) of the investigated and standard base, respectively, were measured using a glass-SCE pair. The obtained pKA values were compared with those reported in the literature.
