ELECTROCHEMICAL BEHAVIOUR OF U(V1) NITRATE IN CHLOROFORM AT A MERCURY ELECTRODE THE DEPENDENCE ON SUPPORTING ELECTROLYTE

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

The mechanistic aspects of the electrochemical reduction of U(V1) nitrate at a mercury electrode in chloroform, using three different supporting electrolytes, are described. In the presence of tetrabutylarnmonium perchlorate (TBAP) as a neutral electrolyte, UO (NO ) , reduced in two irreversible electrochemical steps to form a U(V1)-U(V) binuclear complex and U(IV), respectively. In the presence of 0.75 M piperidinium perchlorate (PP) + 0.25 M piperidine (P) as supporting electrolyte, the reduction of U0 ( NO ) occurred according to a one-electron irreversible process to U (V). The same behaviour was observed in the presence of 0.5 M tributylamrnonium perchlorate + 0.3 M tributylamine. The diffusion coefficients of U(VI) and U(VI)- U(V) binuclear complex determined by chronoamperometric measurement are 8.8 cm s and 5.37 10 cm s respectively

RATE CONSTANTS FUR THE ELECTRODE REACTIONS OF QUINONES IN CHLOROFORM: THE DEPENDENCE ON ELECTRODE MAmRIAL,S AND APPARENT STANDARD POENTIALS

The reduction process for some quinones has been studid by cyclic voltammeby, rotating disk electrode voltammetry and chronopotentiometry in chloroform at platinum, gold and glassy carbon electrodes using tetrabutylmonium perchlorate (TB AP) as supporting eiectrolyte. The results obtained from this study reveal that the reduction of the quinones is two one-electron processes, the first redu...

Electrochemical Behaviour of Nifedipine and Nitrendipine in Chloroform and Chloroform-Isopropanol Mixture

The electrochemical behavior of nifedipine (I), nitrendipine(II) and their photodegradation products has been studied by employing electrochemical techniques in chloroform and in 1:4 mixture of chloroform-isopropanol using piperidinium perchlorate (PPC) as supporting electrolyte. It has been shown that I and II undergo in a 4e, 4H+ irreversible reduction reaction, while the reduc...

Electrochemical study of potassium isobutyl xanthate at a mercury electrode.

Polarographic studies of potassium isobutyl xanthate at a mercury electrode reveal that the product of an anodic reaction is strongly adsorbed at the mercury surface, as indicated by a prewave. The adsorbed film greatly affects the characteristics of the anodic wave of xanthate in an aqeous medium. The current of total wave is proportional to the concentration of xanthate from 0.32 to 1.6 mM.

Electrochemical behaviour of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine at a glassy carbon electrode.

The electrochemical behaviour of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (2,8-DHA)- the main adenine oxidation product- has been investigated over a wide pH range at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using cyclic, differential pulse and square wave voltammetry. The oxidation of 2,8-DHA is a quasi-reversible process, pH dependent and occurs with the formation of a main oxidation product, P(2,8-DHA), that strongly ad...

Influence of the concentration and the nature of the supporting electrolyte on the electrochemical reduction of nitrate on tin cathode

The influences of the potential, the concentration and the nature of the supporting electrolyte on the rate of the reduction of nitrate on tin were tudied by both voltammetry and constant potential electrolytic experiments. Both the rate of the reduction of nitrate and the yield of nitrogen increase as the negative potential increases from−1.8 to−2.8 V versus Ag/AgCl, hile the yield of nitrite ...
