Abstract-The complexes [CrNCS(H20)5] 2+, [CrCI(H20)s] ~+, [CrF(H20)~, 2+ and [Cr(H20)6] a+ were studied by polarography and cyclic voltammetry in aqueous solution. It is shown that Triton X-100 and gelatine shift the polarographic waves to more negative potentials. In 1M NaCIO4-HCIO4 the half-wave potentials in the absence of maximum suppressor are (in Volts vs. SCE): CrNCS2+: --0.675; CrCI2+: -0.62; CrF~+:-1.105; Cr3+: -0.90 (water omitted in the formula). All reductions are irreversible. Replacement of NaC104 by NaSCN makes the reduction of CrNCS 2+ and CrCI z+ more reversible and shifts E½ 50 mV per log [SCN-I unit to more negative potentials for CrNCS z+ and 66 mV for CrCI 2+. It is suggested that CrNCS 2+ and CrCI 2+ may be reduced via a mecbanism analogous to the inner-sphere mechanism in homogeneous reductions.
