POLAROGRAPHIC REDUCTION OF THE PHENYL-SUBSTITUTED ETHENES. I. RELATION OF POSTULATED MECHANISMS TO THEORETICAL BEHAVIOR PATTERNS. Report No. 64

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4836963
The theoretically expected variations of the reversibility criteria for electrochemical reduction, which were proposed for inorganic systems on the basis of direct current polarography, were developed for the various possible mechanisms, which might be expected for the reduction of the phenyl-substituted ethenes at the dropping mercury electrode. These criteria of reversibility include the beta function (ratio of mean current to instantsneous current), the dependence of the current on the drop-time (mercury column height), the slope of the plot of the familiar log current function, i.e., log STA(i/sub d/-- i)/i! vs. potential, and the variation of half-wave potential in relation to proton availability. The situation for irreversible waves is considered on the basis of the equations derived for both the planar electrode and the expanding spherical electrode. (auth)
