Tinned copper and copper alloys Copper itself has a fair corrosion resistance but traces of copper salts are often troublesome and a tin coating offers a convenient means of preventing their formation. Thus copper wire to receive rubber insulation is tinned to preserve the copper from sulphide tarnish and the rubber from copper-catalysed oxidation, and also to keep the wire easily solderable. Vessels to contain water or foodstuffs, including cooking vessels, water-heaters and heat exchangers, may all be tinned to avoid copper contamination accompanied by possible catalysis of the oxidation of such products as milk, and discolouration in the form of, for example, green stains in water and food. 

In principle, sulfonyl compounds bearing highly-electron-accepting substituents are able to transfer the sulfonyl group as an electrophile. Thus, the exchange of aryl substituents in methyl aryl sulfones under catalysis of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid takes place258 (equation 46). This reaction represents a further example for the reversibility of Friedel-Crafts reactions. 

The historical development of chemically electrodes is briefly outlined. Following recent trends, the manufacturing of modified electrodes is reviewed with emphasis on the more recent methods of electrochemical polymerization and on new ion exchanging materials. Surface derivatized electrodes are not treated in detail. The catalysis of electrochemical reactions is treated from the view of theory and of practical application. Promising experimental results are given in detail. Finally, recent advances of chemically modified electrodes in sensor techniques and in the construction of molecular electronics are given. 

Fig. 2a-c. Kinetic zone diagram for the catalysis at redox modified electrodes a. The kinetic zones are characterized by capital letters R control by rate of mediation reaction, S control by rate of subtrate diffusion, E control by electron diffusion rate, combinations are mixed and borderline cases b. The kinetic parameters on the axes are given in the form of characteristic currents i, current due to exchange reaction, ig current due to electron diffusion, iji current due to substrate diffusion c. The signpost on the left indicates how a position in the diagram will move on changing experimental parameters c% bulk concentration of substrate c, Cq catalyst concentration in the film Dj, Dg diffusion coefficients of substrate and electrons k, rate constant of exchange reaction k distribution coefficient of substrate between film and solution d> film thickness (from ref. 

In the theoretical treatment of ion exchange polymers the roles of charge propagation and of migration of ions were further studied by digital simulation. Another example of proven 3-dimensional redox catalysis of the oxidation of Ks[Fe(CN)5] at a ruthenium modified polyvinylpyridine coated electrode was reported...
