Dissertations and Theses

A study of the anodic polarography of catechol in 0.100 F sodium perchlorate is presented. A new wave is observed in alkaline solutions which is different from the simple oxidation wave of catechol to ortho-quinone observed by previous workers. The importance of buffer materials is discussed and a possible explanation of the new wave is suggested.

A study of the polarography behavior of Fe(II) and Fe(III) in the presence of catechol is reported. In the case of reduction of Fe(III) in the presence of catechol, two steps occur at about -1.5 and -1.8 volts (vs. SCE) at pH higher than …
