Films on mercury

The second difficulty in working with mercury is that the contact angle with practically all solids (except metals which dissolve in mercury) is very

Egodage etal. [103] have described a novel application of monoclonal antibodies for the probing of conformation and orientation of the adsorbed protein using cytochrome c(3) films on mercury electrode. Antibodies were utilized to confirm the presence of three confor-mationally distinct electrochemical forms of cytochrome dependent on the applied potential.

A similar electrostatic disjoining pressure isotherm has been used to interpret the experimental data for aqueous films on mercury. it is worthwhile noting that n (max) depends only on i.e., the maximum repulsion is determined by the potential of the surface of lower charge.

Examples of the kinetic mechanisms represented by Eq. (33) and its limiting cases are the 2D formation of organic and ionic monolayers of cytosine [174], 5-bromocytosine [173], isoquinoline [175], coumarin [164], guani-dinium nitrate [176], for chloride [177] and hydroxide [178] and several other so-called anodic films on mercury [179, 180], as well as the transition between the ( 3 X 3) and the (1 x 1) Cu-UPD layer onAu(lll) [181],... 

The nucleation and growth of many anodic films on mercury or on amalgam substrates gives rise to potentiostatic transients which follow the shapes predicted by Equation (9.46) or (9.47) [17], and Fig. 9.17 compares an experimental transient for the growth of monolayers of HgS with the reduced variable curve for progressive nucleation. In many systems electrocrystallisation of subsequent monolayers takes place, and theoretical treatments for this case, involving extensions of the theory outlined here, have appeared in the literature [18].
