Effect of thiourea on polarographic reduction of indium(III) in perchloric acid

The catalytic influence of methionine on the electroreduction of Bi(III) ions in chlorates (VII) solutions with varied water activity

“…The studies concerning the catalytic activity of many different organic substances on the electroreduction of: Zn(II) [1,[3][4][5][6], In(III) [2,7,8], Eu(III) [9] Cd(II) [10] and Bi(III) [11] ions demonstrated that the electroreduction mechanism of these depolarizers in the presence of organic substances is complex, containing both the electron transfer stages and the chemical stages, in which a substrate or intermediate compound lose the part of solvation shell forming at the electrode surface the complexes participating in electrons transfer. In the mechanisms of these processes the water molecules were also taking into consideration, because the behaviour of water at the electrode-solution interface is of a fundamental interest in electrochemistry as water is an essential component of electrochemical systems.…”

The adsorption of thiourea on the mercury from neutral and acidic solutions of perchlorates

“…It is known from the literature that TU influences the rate of several electrode reactions and, for example, catalyses the reduction of metal ions [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In the fundamental electrochemistry TU is used as the probe dipole to evaluate the electrostatic parameters of the inner double layer structure of metal solution interface [7].…”

Studies of the Effect of Thiourea on the Electroreduction of In(III) Ions in Perchloric Acid

“…In view of the small rate of the exchange of coordinated water molecule [20] one can observe a poorly developed, irreversible wave of indium (III) while an addition of halides, pseudohalides or some organic substances to the supporting electrolyte accelerates the reduction of In(III) [21,22].…”
