A Polarographic Study Of Fe(Ii) And Fe(Iii) Complexes With Catechol, Wen-Tang Shen
A Polarographic Study Of Fe(Ii) And Fe(Iii) Complexes With Catechol, Wen-Tang Shen
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 …
An Investigation Of Arsenic(V)-Catechol Complexes, Ronald P. Haak
An Investigation Of Arsenic(V)-Catechol Complexes, Ronald P. Haak
Dissertations and Theses
There is not, at this time, a simple method for the simultaneous determination of As (III) and As (V) at trace levels. The development of such as method is needed, as the toxicities of these two species differ so greatly.
As (III) and As (V) are polarographically reducible in the presence of excess catechol, but the wave produced by As (V) is depended on time, pH and catechol concentration as well as As (V) concentration. In order to understand this behavior, determination of formation constants for any complex species present were needed to identify which species is electroactive. The literature …

Reaction Of Aqueous Catechol Solutions With Minerals, Boonthong Poocharoen
Dissertations and Theses
The effectiveness of catechol, an aromatic vic-diol, in dissolving silicate minerals was studied. A synthetic amorphous magnesium trisilicate, Mg₂Si₃O₈∙5H₂O, as well as the minerals olivine, sepiolite, diopside, augite, and enstatite were used to react with catechol in slightly acidic, basic, and neutral solutions. It was found, depending on the solvent used, that 33-52, 8-17, 14-30, 5-11, 3-6, and 0.5-1 % of the minerals dissolved, respectively.
The reaction with Mg₂Si₃0₈·5H₂0 resulted in the formation of crystals of magnesium tris (catecholato) siliconate nonahydrate Mg[Si(Cat)₃]∙9H₂0. Dehydration of the crystals at room temperature resulted in the loss of 6 moles of water to form …
