CYCLIC CHRONOPOTENTIOMETRY . SYSTEMS INVOLVING KINETIC COMPLICATIONS

The extension of cyclic chronopotentiometry to systems involving kinetic complications, including preceding, following, and catalytic reactions and combinations of these is described and tables are given which can be employed in a determination of the rate constants of these reactions. A general digital computer program is presented which allows calculation for any reaction scheme which conforms to the treatment of Ashley and Reilley. Experimental results for the electroreduction of p-nitrosophenol, an ECE-reac-tion, and the reduction of titanium (IV) in the presence of hydroxy lamine, a catalytic reaction, are presented. © 1968, The Electrochemical Society, Inc.
