Polarographic studies of organic compounds are very complicated. Many of the compounds behave as surfactants, most of them exhibit multiple-electron charge transfer, and very few are soluble in water. The measurement of the capacitance of the double layer, the cell resistance, and the impedance at the electrode/solution interface presents many difficulties. To examine the versatility of the FR polarographic technique, a few simple water-soluble compounds have been chosen for the study. The results obtained are somewhat exciting because the FR polarographic studies not only help in the elucidation of the mechanism of the reaction in different stages but also enable the determination of kinetic parameters for each step of reduction.
