replicate runs) was attained with many of the compounds investigated, and, although with poorer accuracy, very high sensitivities were demonstrated. The best solvent system for the reduction of mononitro compounds was 4-to-l methanol-to-0.5N aqueous lithium chloride solution, but other methanolwater solutions also proved acceptable.Although the main problem encountered in this study-the background current of the solvent systemcould not be eliminated, outgassing, rapid stirring, and pre-electrolysis of the supporting electrolyte solution reduced the interference to tolerable limits.
