Polarographic Study of Nitrofuran Derivatives. I. : Polarographic Behavior of Nitrofurfural Semicarbazone.

A polarographic study of some stilbene derivatives of biological interest.

Polarographic Methods of Analysis

The polarographic method invented by J. Heyrovsk over 40 years ago has been associated with many successful achievements in many branches of physical and analytical chemistry, particularly in electrochemistry. Following the construction of the polarograph (with the excellent properties of Kuera's dropping mercury electrode incorporated) by Heyrovsk and Shikata, recording the current—voltage cur...

POLAROGRAPHIC AND POTENTIOSTATIC REDUCTION OF CARBODIIMIDES: A MECHANISTIC STUDY

The polarographic reduction of aromatic carbodiimides in anhydrous aprotic solvents goes through a carbene intermediate by a diffusion controlled process in two one-electron steps. The first step is the rate-determining step and converts the carbodiirnide to a radical anion (6) that reduces further by a fast one-electron step to a carbene dianion intermediate (7). This abstracts an oxygen, ...

Polarographic determination of malononitrile.

A procedure is proposed for the determination of malononitrile by differential pulse polarography in methanolic 0.1M tetraethylammonium iodide/0.001M tetramethylammonium hydroxide as the supporting electrolyte. In this medium malononitrile is chemically converted into an electroactive species. With close control of timing of the steps in the procedure the error of the method is +/-1.5% in the c...

Polarographic Oxygen Electrode

A method has been developed for the continuous monitoring of oxygen tension in solutions and gases. The oxygen is reduced at a platinum surface which is covered with a plastic membrane. The silver-silver oxide reference electrode is also included under the membrane. Drift is less than 10 per cent for a period of days, and temperature compcnsation is possible. A number of uses to which it has be...
