THE BEHAVIOR OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AT DROPPING MERCURY ELECTRODE IN NON-ASSOCIATED ANHYDROUS SOLVENTS

摘要

The work has now been extended to the study of aromatic olefins and hydrocarbons, examples of irreversible organic systems, and quinones and hydroquinones, examples of reversible organic systems. Since the results in dimethylformamide were quite similar to those obtained in acetonitrile the data obtained in both solvent are treated together.nThis work was undertaken to determine the suitability of methanesulfonic acid as a solvent for the polarographic study of organic compounds.nMost of the work on the behavior of organic compounds in strong acids has been dependent upon cryoscopic studies.
